Britain's King Charles III is to undergo a "corrective procedure" for an enlarged prostate gland, Buckingham Palace said on Wednesday, just hours after it also announced that the Princess of Wales was recovering in the hospital after undergoing planned abdominal surgery.
The 75-year-old king, who took the throne last September after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, will be admitted to the hospital next week, the palace said, noting that he had been forced to cancel a number of planned engagements to allow for recovery from the procedure.
