In a surprising turn of events, King Charles was conspicuously missing from his regular Sunday church service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham.
Royal enthusiasts and photographers gathered in anticipation, hoping to catch a glimpse of the monarch, only to be met with his absence.
The king’s nonattendance coincides with his preparation for a scheduled operation next week to address an enlarged prostate.
Earlier in the week, King Charles and Queen Camilla were seen departing their Burkle estate in Aberdeen, en route to Sandringham, where the king will recuperate before his impending surgery.
Speculations regarding the king’s well-being arose when he was photographed heading to his Sandringham estate in Norfolk, prompting inquiries from the public and the Lord Provost.
Assuring concerned individuals, Queen Camilla affirmed, “He’s fine, thank you very much, looking forward to getting back to work.”
Buckingham Palace had previously issued a public statement regarding the king’s health, emphasizing the planned nature of the procedure and reassuring the public about the benign nature of the monarch’s condition.
The announcement aimed to raise awareness about prostate health and highlight the king’s dedication to sharing his diagnosis to encourage other men to prioritize their well-being.
Despite the temporary disruption to his official duties, Queen Camilla conveyed King Charles’ eagerness to resume work, suggesting a prompt recovery following the corrective surgery.
