King Charles to be treated for benign prostate condition

At his age it's not unusual.

Buckingham Palace said the King's condition is benign but he will undergo a "corrective procedure".

Seems maybe William will have to step in as regent???? No, not you, Harry, you are not needed.

No, for William to be come Regent King Charles would have to be "Permanently incapacitated due to 'infirmity of mind or body'." Charles could appoint Counsellors of State to on his behalf via Letters Patent. Which happened when Charles then Princes of Wales accompanied by William opened Parliament on his Mother's behalf.

I'm sure everything is going to be completely covered and handled. How much does anyone bet Harry has frantically been attempting to call the King, with the wife urging him on?
