Ahead of his procedure, Buckingham Palace said that the King’s public engagements would “be postponed for a short period of recuperation.” Sky News reported on Jan. 29 that it understands the monarch “will not carry out royal engagements for up to a month as he recovers” from his procedure.
King Charles was admitted to the London Clinic on Friday, Jan. 26, for the planned treatment. The palace previously said that the monarch was “delighted to learn that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness.”
Prior to undergoing his procedure, the King on Friday paid a visit to his daughter-in-law Catherine, who was recovering from abdominal surgery at the same hospital. Hours before His Majesty was released from the hospital on Jan. 29, Kensington Palace announced that the Princess of Wales had returned home to Windsor to recover from her surgery, and was “making good progress.”
