King Charles III is set to attend hospital next week for treatment for an enlarged prostate.
Buckingham Palace said the King's condition is benign but he will undergo a "corrective procedure".
The 75 year old's public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation, the Palace said.
The announcement comes shortly after it was revealed the Princess of Wales is in hospital after undergoing abdominal surgery.
