(London) King Charles III, who underwent prostate surgery on Friday, spent his second day on Saturday in a clinic in London, where he received a visit from his wife Camilla.
The 75-year-old king arrived Friday morning, with Camilla, at the London Clinic, where Kate, the wife of Crown Prince William, is also hospitalized, who underwent abdominal surgery last week.
Shortly after Charles’ surgery, the queen told people inside the clinic Friday afternoon that Charles was “doing well,” according to British media. It was not specified when it would be released.

Camilla visited him on Saturday, in the middle of the day, for about three hours.
The Palace announced last week its diagnosis of prostate hypertrophy, in order to encourage screening for this very common pathology in men of a certain age and generally not serious.
The Palace insisted on the routine nature of this procedure which affects “thousands of men each year”.
Charles III, who succeeded Elizabeth II in September 2022, canceled several public engagements last week to rest. He will have to observe, after his operation, “a short period” of convalescence, the duration of which has not been specified.
Princess Kate, 42, has been hospitalized since January 16 at the London Clinic. The pathology from which she suffers has not been revealed.
The services of the princely couple assured that his abdominal surgical operation had taken place “successfully” and requested respect for his private life, demanding “that his personal medical information remains confidential”. The only information that the monarchy let leak: it is not cancer.
On January 17, the princely couple’s services indicated that she would have to stay in hospital for ten to fourteen days. She will probably not resume her public activities before the end of March.
Prince William has canceled many public engagements while she recovers from her operation.
