King Charles ‘overruled’ Queen Camilla when she didn’t want him to reveal his health conditions: author

Both King Charles and the Princess of Wales have been lauded for their transparency with their recent health issues, but Queen Camilla originally wanted the king to keep his struggles private, according to an author.

In January, Buckingham Palace announced Charles would undergo outpatient treatment for a benign enlarged prostate and then, in February, the palace revealed he had cancer.

“No further details are being shared at this stage, except to confirm that His Majesty does not have prostate cancer,” the palace said at the time

“Queen Camilla had initially been against disclosing his condition,” Robert Jobson, who wrote “Our King: Charles III – The Man and the Monarch Revealed,” told the Independent this week.

“But the king overruled her as he felt it was a chance to take a lead and in doing so to encourage men experiencing similar symptoms to seek timely medical attention

“There was a significant increase in searches related to enlarged prostate on the National Health Service website following the monarch’s revelation. The NHS England page on benign prostate enlargement had more than 26,000 visits in the 48 hours after the announcement, compared to a daily average of just 1,400.”
