It is unclear how long the king will be in hospital, but Britain's National Health Service said non-cancerous prostate enlargement is a common condition among older men and “usually does not pose a serious threat to health.” Buckingham Palace announced the upcoming surgery last week, saying: “Like thousands of men every year, the King has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate.”
The palace has long had a tradition of not commenting on health issues within the royal family, and on the same day it was revealed that Kate, Princess of Wales, had been hospitalized, the monarch announced that she would be heading to hospital for surgery. Admission to the hospital for apparently major abdominal surgery is considered a serious transition to a more open position. In the King's case, the decision was widely interpreted in British media as an attempt to raise awareness of the disease and encourage more men to seek treatment.
The king could be discharged from hospital within a few days and return to royal duties within weeks, but Duchess Kate was admitted to hospital last week and is believed to have undergone a serious operation. She is expected to recover in hospital for several weeks, and will continue her recovery at home for the next few months, and she will not return to royal duties until after Easter. However, a royal source quoted by Reuters last week after her surgery said the princess was “doing well.”
