Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Britain's King Charles arrived at the private London Clinic Friday morning to be treated for an enlarged prostate, the same hospital where Kate Middleton is recovering from abdominal surgery. Charles arrived at the medical facility with Queen Camilla from Clarence House. Middleton had her surgery Jan. 17.

"The king was this morning admitted to a London hospital for scheduled treatment," Buckingham Palace said, according to People magazine. "His Majesty would like to thank all those who have sent their good wishes over the past week and is delighted to learn that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness."
The National Health Service said searches about enlarged prostates dramatically increased after Prince Charles's diagnosis was made public.
"[King Charles was] delighted to learn that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness," Buckingham Palace said, according to BBC News.
It was believed that King Charles visited his daughter-in-law before going into his surgery. Kate Middleton continued to recover from her surgery and is expected to continue her rebound for several months after she is released.
Doctors diagnosed King Charles with a benign enlarged prostate during a Jan. 17 check-up after he was experiencing symptoms. He was urged to rest and have surgery to resolve the problem.
