Dr Hilary Jones has explained what an enlarged prostate is after the news that the King is set to go to hospital to be treated for it.

In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: "His Majesty’s condition is benign and he will attend hospital next week for a corrective procedure. The King’s public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation.”

Speaking on Good Morning Britain on Thursday (18 January), Dr Hilary said the symptoms are "troublesome" as they can often be managed but suddenly deteriorate and become "very inconvenient."

OPINION - I'm sorry, but this is why I have no sympathy for the woman whose £10,000 handbag was stolen in London
It did not, I have to say, take long for my sympathy for the woman who had her designer handbag stolen from a changing room in Oxford Street to evaporate into thin air. Nothing sums up more the vulgarity of the culture than the fact that it’s now de rigueur for a young woman to flaunt £10,000 worth of designer handbag as a measure of success. As an artefact, the Hermes JPG Shoulder Birkin, in red is an attractive piece; it’s well made and an intelligent take on the original designed for Jane Birkin.
