The palace said: “In common with thousands of men each year, The King has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate. His Majesty’s condition is benign and he will attend hospital next week for a corrective procedure.” Meanwhile, there’s been an outpouring of love and support for the royals’ recovery with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s silence being notable.
The Queen’s former press secretary Dickie Arbiter said on X: “I am sure I speak for everyone in wishing HRH a speedy recovery.”
Royal expert Phil Dampier commented: “Wishing the Princess of Wales a speedy recovery after abdominal surgery. We don’t know the details but clearly, this was serious as she will be in hospital for a fortnight and needs up to three months to recover.”
Later, he added on the King’s procedure: “Today’s medical news about #TheKing and #PrincessofWales reminds us that they are human beings with the same problems as the rest of us. Cue the usual suspects complaining they get better treatment! But the point remains.”
Royal biographer Angela Levin praised the monarch for making public his condition ahead of his condition saying on GB News: “He is a very healthy man, he eats well, he has lots of exercise and he will be back soon I’m sure of that.”
Author Giovanna Fletcher, who interviewed the princess for her podcast, Happy Mum, Happy Baby, said on Instagram: “Sending love! Xx”.
Fearne Cotton also commented on the post with two hearts. Internet sensation Louise Pentland also said: “Sending lots of love and a speedy recovery.”
French celebrity chef Eric Lanlard wished Kate: “Sending my best wishes to Her Royal Highness and to a speedy recovery.”
Even world-famous DJ and music producer Jax Jones commented: “wishing you a speedy recovery”. And royal commentator Kinsey Schofield sent her wellwishes, saying: “Prayers to you and your beautiful family. We are sending you thoughts of love and healing!”
