LONDON, JANUARY 17

Buckingham Palace says King Charles III will undergo a 'corrective procedure' next week for an enlarged prostate.

The palace says the king's condition is benign.

The palace says the 75-year-old monarch has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate 'in common with thousands of men each year.'

It says he will require 'a short period of recuperation' after the procedure.
