“The King was admitted to London Hospital this morning for planned treatment,” the palace said. “Her Majesty would like to thank everyone who has sent well wishes over the past week and is pleased to learn that her diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness.”
The publicity surrounding the King's operation is seen as an opportunity to encourage other men to have their prostates checked, in line with public health advice. The monarch sought treatment “along with thousands of men every year,” the palace said.
