King Charles
Meanwhile British head of state King Charles III will attend a hospital next week for a corrective procedure to treat an enlarged prostate.
According to Buckingham Palace, the condition is benign but the 75-year-old King's public engagements will be postponed while he recuperates.
Charles became king upon the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on September 8, 2022.
He is the oldest person to become Britain's monarch, having been the longest-serving heir apparent.
