King’s Charles’s openness of his medical condition “has reassured the country” as the monarch returns home from hospital.
GB News spoke with members of the public in Windsor today who praised the King for opening up about his treatment for an enlarged prostate.
One royal enthusiast said that the King disclosing his condition helped “reassure the rest of that country that it isn’t something too serious.”
Before the King went to hospital, Buckingham Palace released a statement which detailed the King’s health condition.

The member of the public also commented on how the King’s statement raised "awareness of issues which [are] really useful for men’s health.”
His Majesty was keen to share his diagnosis with the public to encourage men to get checked for similar symptoms.
The announcement did raise public awareness and sparked a 1,000 per cent surge to a NHS website the day after the royal statement.
The NHS website’s prostate enlargement page received more than 11 times the number of visitors than the previous day.
