King seen heading into hospital

The King has been seen heading into the private London Clinic hospital.

It is unclear whether the 75-year-old monarch is attending for his prostate treatment, which was announced last week, or if he is visiting his daughter-in-law who is staying at the London Clinic having undergone abdominal surgery.

The Princess of Wales remains in the hospital and her surgery last week, and on 18 January was visited by her husband, the Prince of Wales.

The King's public engagements will be postponed after he has his corrective procedure.

It is understood he shared details of his diagnosis to encourage other men who may be experiencing symptoms to get checked in line with public health advice.
