King Charles thanks well wishers after discharge from hospital

King Charles has thanked well-wishers for their support after being discharged from the London Clinic following treatment for an enlarged prostate.

The King left the hospital accompanied by Queen Camilla on 29 January with Buckingham Palace saying, “Thank you to all those who have sent their good wishes during The King’s hospital stay.”

They added: “His Majesty is delighted that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness.”

Buckingham Palace said that the King’s public engagements have been rescheduled “to allow for a period of private recuperation.”

It is thought the King will not carry out royal duties for about a month as he recovers.

The Princess of Wales, who underwent abdominal surgery at the same clinic, was also discharged on Monday. Kensington Palace said the Princess is making “good progress.”

They added that “the Wales family continues to be grateful for the well wishes they have received from around the world.”

Catherine is not expected to return to royal duties until after Easter.
