An source claims that King Charles’ hospital stay has been extended while he recovers from surgery for an enlarged prostate.
Charles, 75, had planned to stay at The London Clinic for only two nights after the operation on Friday, but doctors have now kept him there for a third.
A source informed The Sun that Charles would only stay at the hospital for more than two nights if there was an unexpected issue.
They said that the extra night at the clinic was ‘completely preventative’ but may have caused’some concern’.
The development comes as the palace confirms the queen could be out of action for a month after being freed, missing public appearances.
On Sunday evening, Queen Camilla visited the King’s bedside and was observed in high spirits as she departed the London Clinic at 7.06 p.m.
It was the Queen’s fourth visit to her husband, and she left the hospital in less than four hours.
King Charles is expected to miss up to a month of royal events while recovering following prostate surgery.
According to Sky News, he will need a ‘period of rehabilitation’ before returning to work on government paperwork.
