Britain's King Charles III admitted to hospital for scheduled enlarged prostate treatment

Britain's King Charles III was admitted Friday to a private London hospital for scheduled treatment for an enlarged prostate, which Buckingham Palace announced last week he would be undergoing. The palace has said his condition is benign, and on Friday it said the monarch was "delighted to learn that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness."

"His Majesty would like to thank all those who have sent their good wishes over the past week," the palace noted.

No further updates on the king's treatment were expected, and it was unclear how long he would remain in the hospital or away from his work during recovery.
