From polo injuries to puffy digits: The King’s health over the years
The King, who is in hospital receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate, has generally enjoyed good health – although he has been injured during sporting pursuits.
It is hoped that Charles’s decision to share details of his diagnosis may encourage other men experiencing symptoms to get checked in line with public health advice.
In a statement on Friday, Buckingham Palace said the King “would like to thank all those who have sent their good wishes over the past week and is delighted to learn that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness”.
His condition is benign and he is set to have a corrective procedure, the Palace has previously said.
