Britain\u2019s King Charles III was admitted to a London hospital on Friday morning for a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate. <\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace said in a statement that the 75-year-old monarch had arrived at the facility for his \u201cscheduled treatment.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cHis Majesty would like to thank all those who have sent their good wishes over the past week and is delighted to learn that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness,\u201d it added. <\/p>\n

The palace revealed on January 17 that the king was set to undergo treatment \u201cin common with thousands of men each year\u201d and that his condition was \u201cbenign.\u201d <\/p>\n

Charles arrived at The London Clinic, a private healthcare facility near Regent\u2019s Park, accompanied by his wife, Queen Camilla, the UK\u2019s\u00a0PA Media\u00a0news agency reported. The move was seen as unusual as the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip always went into hospital by themselves. <\/p>\n

Charles will postpone engagements for a short period while he recuperates. It was not immediately clear how long the monarch would remain in hospital and a royal source said there would be no further details of his treatment beyond what has already been shared. <\/p>\n

Queen Camilla has been reassuring the public during engagements over the last week, saying while in Swindon on Monday that he was \u201cfine\u201d and that he was \u201clooking forward to getting back to work\u201d during an art gallery visit in Aberdeen, Scotland last Thursday. <\/p>\n

Specific medical conditions of members of the royal family are rarely divulged publicly. The palace\u2019s perspective is that they are entitled to some level of medical privacy despite their positions as public servants. <\/p>\n

And it would appear his approach worked. There was a surge in men seeing if they are at risk of prostate cancer, according to figures from NHS England. <\/p>\n

Visits to its \u201cenlarged prostate\u201d webpage \u2013 which provides information on causes, symptoms and treatment options \u2013 saw traffic surge more than 1,000% above its daily average after the palace\u2019s announcement. <\/p>\n

It received 16,410 visits on the day of the announcement, compared to 1,414 visits the day before, according to the organization. <\/p>\n

Prostate Cancer UK also said the number of individuals using its online risk checker had jumped 97%. The charity praised the monarch \u201cfor his openness that\u2019ll inevitably raise more awareness about the condition.\u201d <\/p>\n

In an unprecedented double royal health shock, news of Charles\u2019 procedure was revealed on January 17, only 90 minutes after Kensington Palace separately announced that the Princess of Wales was in hospital. <\/p>\n

Kate, 42, is not expected to return to her royal duties until after Easter. Her husband, Prince William has also temporarily stepped away from engagements to juggle supporting Kate\u2019s recovery and childcare. <\/p>\n

The royal family\u2019s health woes continued days later as Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York revealed she was also recently diagnosed with skin cancer. <\/p>\n

Ferguson, the ex-wife of\u00a0Prince Andrew, said she was \u201cin good spirits and grateful for the many messages of love and support\u201d following her second cancer diagnosis since the\u00a0summer. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have been taking some time to myself,\u201d she wrote on Instagram on Monday. \u201cNaturally another cancer diagnosis has been a shock.\u201d <\/p>\n

The\u00a0duchess underwent a mastectomy in June last year, followed by reconstructive surgery. Several moles were removed and analyzed at the time of her surgery, the UK Press Association reported Sunday, citing Ferguson\u2019s spokesperson. <\/p>\n
