After it was announced on January 17th that Catherine, Princess of Wales had undergone an operation, the palace confirmed shortly afterwards that King Charles would also have to undergo an operation shortly. The monarch has currently retreated to a special location in preparation for his procedure.
A few hours after the palace had to announce on January 17, 2024 that Catherine, Princess of Wales, 42, has undergone abdominal surgery, it has been revealed that King Charles, 75, will also undergo surgery in a few days. This emerges from a statement from Buckingham Palace, which royal expert Chris Ship shared on benign and he will go to hospital next week for corrective surgery. The King’s public appearances will be postponed for a short recovery period.” It is now also known where the monarch is preparing for his operation.
King Charles is in the place of his soul
“His Majesty lives at Birkhall, his private home near Balmoral,” says Cameron Walker, royal correspondent for GB News. A choice that is both surprising and yet not surprising. The stay in Scotland raises questions as to whether the Regent will undergo the procedure there and not in London, as initially assumed. However, regardless of the location of the hospital stay planned for next week, one can assume that Charles will want to prepare mentally for the medical treatment in the area that is like no other home for him. Balmoral Castle in Scotland has always been a beloved refuge for the Windsors.
Birkhall is part of the Royal Private Estate of Balmoral. The royal family has been spending the summer months on the site for decades. Here we hunt, grill and live. Queen Elizabeth, †96, closed her eyes forever at Balmoral on September 8, 2022.
In this place, Charles finds the peace of mind he needs these days. Cameron Walker claims he is in a “really good mood” and “in good shape”. Queen Camilla, 76, is with him.
König wants to encourage precaution
Ship notes that the statement is unusually detailed – but that’s no coincidence: “It’s unusual to have so much detail about the health of a member of the royal family, but we’re told the King wants his diagnosis to encourage other men to get checked.” In addition, King Charles will cancel appointments at short notice. “We understand that the King had a series of meetings planned at Dumfries House for tomorrow – including with members of the Cabinet. However, on the advice of the doctor, he was told to postpone these. The announcement was made to avoid unnecessary travel to Scotland to avoid,” the ITV presenter explains.
Catherine, Princess of Wales, has already had a procedure
Shortly before, Kensington Palace made it public that Kate was “admitted to the London clinic yesterday for planned abdominal surgery.” The operation was successful and Prince William’s wife, 41, is expected to stay in the hospital for ten to 14 days. “Based on current medical knowledge, it is unlikely that she will be able to return to public before Easter,” it said.
