King Charles was discharged from the hospital & photographed on his way out

While I’m worried about the Princess of Wales’s health and status and I genuinely hope she’s okay, it’s absolutely riveting to watch Buckingham Palace box in Kensington Palace. KP did the most to try to convince everyone that William was visiting Kate in the London Clinic and he just wasn’t being photographed. Then Camilla made it abundantly clear that photographers were outside the hospital as she repeatedly visited King Charles this weekend, drawing attention to William’s absence. Suddenly today, KP then announced that Kate had been discharged from the hospital and she had already returned home to Adelaide Cottage. Rebecca English at the Mail even underlined the fact that KP was telling her that Kate left the hospital TODAY. No photos, no videos, nothing. Then, hours later, King Charles was discharged from the same hospital – and he made sure the photographers waiting outside got plenty of pics. Wow.

King Charles III smiled and waved as was discharged from hospital today, three days after undergoing a successful procedure for an enlarged prostate.

Charles walked out of The London Clinic in Marylebone with Queen Camilla by his side following three nights under observation after being admitted last Friday morning at about 9am.

The King was twice visited by Queen Camilla yesterday, the third and fourth times she has been to see him at the private hospital since they arrived.

Camilla smiled as she arrived by car at midday yesterday, leaving again just over three hours later. She returned between 6pm and 7pm and was smiling as she left.

It is the same hospital where the Princess of Wales is being cared for after abdominal surgery on January 16. Kate today entered the 14th day of her hospital stay and was visited by her father-in-law Charles last Friday ahead of his operation.

[From The Daily Mail]

The Mail is pointing out that they’re perfectly capable of tracking the movements, arrivals and departures of the royals as they come and go from the London Clinic. Charles and Camilla also want to have it underlined – while Charles stayed in the hospital one more night than they were expecting, everything is fine and he’s back on his feet and there’s nothing to hide. Unlike some people.

    I…this is just SO messy. Wow.

    • the Robinsons says:

      I second that.

      • Laura C says:

        I don’t think she was in hospital at all. I just don’t believe she could’ve been there for 14 days and no one was pictured visiting. The mail have photos of her PA and another aide with gifts leaving the hospital but none of her or any of her family members.

  2. QuiteContrary says:

    Camilla really is an evil genius.

    • Cessily says:

      She/they just waited for the reports to speculate how someone got out of that hospital with all the exits covered by cameras, and then they shamelessly stroll out. I am still stunned by it all sometimes.

      • ArtHistorian says:

        After Sussexit and the Queen’s death, I knew that the brewing PR war between BP and KP were going to be very entertaining. Camilla knows how to move PR wise, but I have to say that KP’s game is not very good. A lot of unforced errors on their part. They come across as a comms department in shambles who has completely lost control of the narrative and are always reactive. I wonder whether this is just sheer incompetence or perhaps the staff not getting the relevant info from their principals (Will and Kate).

    • Eurydice says:

      She’s like a sniper – laying low, very patient, no unnecessary moves or noises – and then the perfect shot.

    • Proud Mary says:

      I despise the wench, but even I have to admit, this is an excellent move on her part. The Waleses are such children at this game. Cam’s running circles around them, that’s why she wanted the Sussexes out of the way– they’re at least hardworking and dynamic. Wills and Kate are such sitting ducks for her.

      • StillDouchesOfCambridge says:

        It’s amateur hour on the Wales part. Charles has no clue coming out of his surgery lol Cowmilla has over 40 years experience in snaking, if not 50, a piece of cake for her. Coween Lorrain is howling of amusement behind doors.

        Let’s also not forget that Cowmilla is a speaker highlighting VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN.

      • Christina says:

        @proudmary, the Wales’ bad PR seems to me to be more about William’s arrogance and need to be the top dog in the pound. I get it if Kate wants her medical care details to remain private, but I don’t think she’d care about coming and going from the hospital unless she was rolled out in a medical bed. She knows that those images would endear her public even more, but so does William, lol. William wants everyone to know that nobody is the boss of him, he is the future king and not his wife, and he is having his minions tell the masses that he is perfectly fine taking care of the kids without her.

        He “erased” Harry and Meghan, and he is busy trying to erase his wife in the public’s heart, just like his dad did to Diana. What a piece of shit this man is.

      • Mtl.ex.pat says:

        @proud Mary – yep – got to hand it to Camilla – after all these years she’s got the press manipulation down pat!

    • Over it says:

      Loathe as I am to commend this home wrecker for anything. I have to say I take my hat off to her. Damm she’s good. Wank and buttons don’t stand a chance against the evil genius. lol. Wank deserves everything Camilla does to him for all the evil he did to Harry and Meghan. Should have been a better brother.

  3. Gee says:

    Camilla is fond of that shade of blue, isn’t she?

  4. aquarius64 says:

    Boss PR move of Charles & Camilla leaving the hospital by the front door. KP secrecy really botched Kate’s stay and will continue to fuel speculation.

    • Where'sMyTiara says:

      The king and queen consort are literally trolling W & K out loud now.
      They’re telling the world press that Kate didn’t leave in the night. That it’s giving coverup.

      Here’s what I don’t understand: Chucky & Bride of Chucky think they’re being cute attacking the heir & PoW – like they seem to be gleefully throwing shade on his heir and the HOSPITALIZED wife of the heir.

      But this speaks to how bad HIS reign is, now horrible a parent HE is because he never got W help for anger issues that go back to childhood, and didn’t raise him to his duty properly.

      These two crowned clowns think that making W&K look bad makes them look better. It straight up does not. The courtiers love mess but this is going to come back and bite every last one of them in the rear bumper.

  5. Becks1 says:

    It is fascinating to watch this play out between BP and KP. The pointed coverage of Camilla’s comings and goings really is trying to send a message to William, isnt it?

    I mean, we’re expected to believe that his wife was discharged after a two week hospital stay and he didn’t even go pick her up?

    • Nic919 says:

      If she was there at all, then she left on Saturday. Locals around the hospital saw a convoy on Saturday and initially assumed it was Camilla but she did not arrive until later that day.

      This would line up with the footage on Natasha in one vehicle and a blacked out passenger vehicle behind her.

      • Becks1 says:

        which means either KP lied to English or she’s lying when she says Kate was released today – either way its interesting.

  6. Beverley says:

    Wow! KP is terrible at PR. King and Sidepiece ran circles around their lies and obfuscation. It’s been fascinating watching this spectacle, knowing the truth will eventually come out.

    On a serious note, I fear serious harm has come to Kate and we may never see her in public again.

  7. Amy Bee says:

    Apparently Rhiannon Mills says that the press had cameras at all entrances of the hospital to get a glimpse of Kate leaving and they didn’t see her. I’m sure behind the scenes the press is pissed that they didn’t get the money shot. BP’s actions throughout this whole ordeal has just piled on the pressure on KP.

  8. Tina says:

    The way I just spit out my coffee when I saw this. Standing ovation. Bravo. Chefs kiss. Checkmate. Really going to be curious if the international media doesn’t pick up on this. Please someone this is wild.

  9. aries48 says:

    What the heck is Camilla wearing? All that money and that’s how she dresses herself. Yikes!

    • Eurydice says:

      She’s wearing “Concerned Wife Picks Up Husband From the Hospital.” It would look weird if she was all dressed up.

    • Athena says:

      She wears that outfit often. Part of the reason I never understood Kate’s need to show up with a new outfit every time.

      • Athena says:

        This is why there should never have been multiple communications teams. The royal family should present one face to the world with all communications being done from BP. None of this looks good for the royal brand. What is Camilla’s end game? She can’t put one of her children on the throne even if that child is also Charles, so making William look bad is making the monarchy look bad and she must know that. And what is Charles thinking going along with all this.

    • bisynaptic says:

      Wondering the same thing!

  10. MaryContrary says:

    I really believe that William and Kate’s parents were visiting her, but going around the back. And that William (trying for “privacy” ) made it clear that he did not want photos of them printed. I also believe that Camilla’s pr runs circles around KP’s clown show. She welcomes the chance to show normal family behavior here. And of course the King understands the importance of showing that he’s fine and will just scale back to fully recuperate. Meanwhile, KP looks like they’re trying to hide something. I just think it’s PR mismanagement-nothing sinister.

    • Nic919 says:

      William, always travels with a convoy so he would have been seen. It is possible the Middletons were not seen but there are two entrances and both have been watched since they announced she was at the hospital. It is unlikely they would have been missed unless they were hiding in the back seat and total strangers drove them in.

  11. Well Chuckles and Horsilla are showing Peg how this is done. He leaves the same hospital waving to all the cameras but Can’t left the hospital without one of those cameras documenting it hmmmm..Something isn’t right.

  12. tamsin says:

    So announcements about Charles’s prostate and Kate’s abdominal surgery and Charles and Kate leaving hospital were announced within hours of each other on the same day. Curious.

    • Lady Esther says:

      I agree. Once could be chalked up to coincidence and secret squirrel KP PR not coordinating with BP.

      Twice….bish plz

  13. Interested Gawker says:

    C&C just twisting that knife like a champion!

  14. Louise says:

    Wow Kaiser, you’re a better person than I am. I genuinely don’t care if Kate is OK, given how evil she was to Megan. She made her bed (chased PWT til he had no other options) and then she mercilessly bullied a pregnant woman. What’s the phrase? You reap what you sow…

    • Linder says:

      How incredible low to wish harm on someone because two women couldn’t get along. Neither of those women are evil. Their ambition collided. It happens. If you work with people you see it every day. Both these women are mothers and good ones. No child should have to lose their mother in any way, shape or form.

      • ArtHistorian says:

        The conflict between Meghan and Kate was not just an example of “not getting along” and “ambitions colliding”. It was Kate basically bullying Meghan and then letting a lie sit for years that cast Meghan in a damaging racist trope (“white woman’s tears). Basically a DARVO move, and that is just so damn repugnant because Kate’s actions caused harm. Both directly and indirectly by the press.

        I don’t wish Kate any harm. I hope she’s ok but let’s not rewrite history here.

      • Tiny says:

        I wish for Waity what she wished for M.
        IS THAT BETTER?

      • Nic919 says:

        Kate instigated a smear campaign with the fake crying story that was the catalyst for the non stop media smear campaign and bullying that still has not been corrected to this day. Something which caused Meghan to be suicidal while pregnant.

        So let’s not pretend this was just ‘ambition’ or ‘not getting along’. It was a vicious act deserving of condemnation.

      • JaneS says:

        Linder, well said. I completely agree with you.
        Kate has 3 children under 12.
        I hope she has a complete recovery for sake of her children.

        I do not care for Camilla. But I do think she has been a good Mum, and it’s often remarked that she adores her grandkids.

      • Sarah B. says:

        While I hope Kate has not been physically harmed and can continue to be a mother to her three children, I really can’t feel sorry for her. She got promoted to almost sainthood when Meghan arrived on the scene. She let that crying lie stand for years, lost her marbles about some hormones and was incredibly rude at Commonwealth service to Meghan. Kate was awful to Meghan and she didn’t try to hide it. I think Meghan genuinely tried to befriend Kate but was met with resentment and jealousy. Kate was looking for minion to boss around and for Meghan to be awe in Kate’s presence but Meghan was like whatever… your my boyfriend’s/husband sister-in-law and treated Kate like everyone else.

      • Tessa says:

        Meghan made a sincere effort to get along with Kate. Kate behaved badly meddling in Meghan wedding plans.

      • Gabby says:

        Unfortunately, small children the world over lose their mothers to illness and violence every day. We just don’t hear about all of them.

        I don’t know what’s wrong with Kate physically, but we can wish her no further harm while still acknowledging that she is indeed evil.

    • bisynaptic says:

      There are noncombatants —children— involved, here.

  15. Sunday says:

    This is very clearly Buckingham Palace, Charles, and Camilla refusing to cover for whatever nefarious shenanigans are afoot with the Wails. Camilla and Charles have played this right at every turn – they look transparent and honest, and like a supportive couple (ew) while at the same time drawing a ridiculously obvious contrast to the dense fog surrounding Kate, Will and KP.

    It’s very telling that they’re implicating Will like this. We all know Charles & Camilla have no problem swiping at his sons in the press, but at the end of the day the firm must protect the heir. And yet the firm isn’t protecting the heir. They’re implicating him a million different ways, and the end game here can only be exposure.

    To me, the real question is, do Charles and Camilla even know what’s going on with Kate and Will, or is this them trying to force the Wails’ hand into even telling them wtf is going on? The (bad) Becky English coverup seems like even the press really don’t know either? Did the press really think she was there for a while?

    • Magdalena says:

      But the press didn’t really protect Charles when he was the heir, did they? Otherwise we would not know as many awful things about him as we do now…

      Which makes you wonder exactly how awful the dirt they’ve got on William is that literally EVERYONE is scrambling like mad to protect him.

      As someone once asked on here: “There really is a dead body, isn’t there?”

      And then consider that journalist who said “My God, I can’t wait until we can really talk about William” or some such thing. Hmm.

    • Where'sMyTiara says:

      @Sunday, 100% This. This is what I do not understand about C&C’s PR game here.

      I mean I totally get that this is within Bride of Chucky’s capabilities and MO – she’s gone off and made a 2nd career out of alienating the king from his sons – but the coordination before, during, and after the surgery? The deliberation to leave KP looking flat footed the day the two surgeries were announced, and again the day the two were purportedly released from the hospital?

      I think they’re only concentrating on getting one up on W&K and making the Waleses’ look bad. But this doesn’t make Kate look bad; it makes CHARLES AND WILLIAM look bad. No one gaf about Chucky’s geriatric Cam girl, except insofar as she may be instigating some of this or egging it on.

      But this episode points up that the petty rivalry between BP and KP has just off-roaded into something much darker and more sinister. The king should, first and foremost, be concerned about supporting his heir and ensuring the continuation of the monarchy; but he seems to have thrown the lifetime of lessons he learned at the Queen Mum’s & his own mum’s knees out the damn window in favor of the short-term thrills of dunking on his own son. It looks shady, it looks cruel, it looks absolutely deliberate, and it’s going to turn the public against Charles & Camilla even more. Hope BP’s prepared for more booing in the streets this year.

      • BeanieBean says:

        I’m all for more booing. And maybe some rotten tomato throwing.

      • Saucy&Sassy says:

        Where’sMyTiara, but if we discover that KHate wasn’t in the hospital, but has been at Ma Mids all along? Or she might have been in a hospital for a short period of time and has been at Ma Mids since then? Who ends up looking bad?

      • Jeanne says:

        It’s because C and C are siding with Kate. They have to. Charles can’t be on the wrong side of this divorce. Because then he’ll look guilty of running 2 princess of wales out of town. He is quietly sticking it to William in the press bc he knows that william probably started this whole nonsense with divorce papers after christmas.

        You have to remember, Charles has been calling Kate “his darling daughter in law” for the past two years — ever since rumors started rumbling about the wales marriage. he likes kate, she toes the line and does what she’s told and (sometimes) keeps william in check. Camilla has said herself that william is mean and rude to his father and is uncontrollable.

        a line is being drawn in the sand. C and C are not on william’s side, but they can’t say that. the newspapers can pick up on it though and they won’t go after charles in the divorce. they will say that he did all he could to mediate between the couple.

      • Tessa says:

        Jeanne Kate has imo been subject to Williams whims. William kept Kate in check when she tried to push ahead of harry and Meghan. I don’t think Kate can control him.i think she’s more of an enabler.

  16. Harper says:

    He looks good; back to his sartorial standards. Since I do believe he had an operation, I wish him all the best and a good calm recovery at home. And the ability to pee more comfortably, which I believe is the goal of noncancerous prostate procedures.

  17. Eurydice says:

    “Her return to official duties will depend on medical advice closer to the time.” There’s a scoop for you – closer to what time?

  18. M says:

    The water ain’t clean. Kate was either never there or was gone before the announcement two weeks ago. If she was indeed let out today, did they create a disguise from her wiglets to sneak her out??

    • Lady Esther says:

      The DM is already reduced to photographing the flowers – DRIED OUT FLOWERS – sent to Kate’s bedside next to Natasha Archer in the car….that is some weak sauce right there. The Waleses will owe the press big time for accepting these shenanigans for now!

      • Nic919 says:

        Not to be pedantic but the dried flowers are in the front seat with the RPO in the vehicle where kate is supposed to be. 😁

        The circle of them on the front page of the DM really shows how poorly KP handled this.

    • Blithe says:

      I’ve wondered about that. Dress her up in scrubs, a puffer coat, a winter hat and a face mask — if she left at a shift change to get into a normal car, would she really be noticed?

  19. Iris says:

    Charles is such a douche.
    In the video he initially looked peeved that he had to walk around the vehicle to get in, but then realized it would give him more face time (attention) with the world’s media.
    Diana, yes it was torture all those years putting up with that git.

    • Shoshone says:

      I doubt that Charles is presently able to walk without pain. Most leave via wheelchair but he probably sucked it up and walked to the car so as not to appear weak.

      • Jaded says:

        Walking is encouraged starting the day after this type of surgery. It wasn’t a radical prostatectomy, it was just reducing the size of the prostate with a laser.

  20. Brassy Rebel says:

    William will return to public engagements once his wife is settled? Today? This week? Next week? Another vague statement.

    • Iris says:

      Error. They meant when Kate’s facelift has settled.

    • Thelma says:

      I actually thought this was an improvement as in ,once she’s settled in at home, rather than the 3-4 months he initially announced. They must have finally figured out that taking all that time was not a good look. But it’s still vague.

  21. L4Frimaire says:

    Chuck and Camilla handled this very well. The whole thing surrounding Kate is very odd. The king’s and his wife’s visibility emphasized that more and Camilla was loving every minute of it

  22. Ameerah M says:

    Chuck is reminding Wills that while he may not have the best judgment he is STILL better at this than he is. And it doesn’t take much for that.

  23. Chelsea says:

    Why does the last line of that excerpt read in pressnt tense: “IS being cared for?” I thought Kate already left?

  24. Chantale says:

    If Bully Boy Willy’s wife had some kind of ailment that was mentionable, I am pretty sure he would be making his walks in and out the hospital to show what a supposed great husband he is. His waity wife has something they do not want the public to know. I am not going to throw crazy theories but whatever it is, it is awful. I am wishing her well.

    If mistress wife was not so evil to princess Diana, I would love her PR to death against Bully Boy toxic 80s James Spader movies. I am side eying her but still admiring her for putting Bully Boy in his place and trying to be king before his time. Wait in the Corner tempestuous child! mistress wife is telling Bully Boy! I can get rid of you as well. ROTFL, Love it!

    • Where'sMyTiara says:

      It was awful enough that they trotted out Rose Hanbury to make a ‘thoughts and prayers’ statement towards Kate last week.

      I mean WHEN HAVE YOU EVER SEEN… that was absolutely flabbergasting.

      • VoominVava says:

        If you are referring to what I think you are referring to, there was a satiric post going around with the username Rose Hanbury. It wasn’t her.

    • Tessa says:

      Camilla was also horrid to Meghan and harry.

  25. Chris says:

    It’s possible that she snuck out the back while the cameras were trained on Charles leaving. Would the Royal family work together like that? Doesn’t seem likely but I guess possible. Also – I totally think face lift and some other kind of plastic surgery for sure. That’s why she can’t be seen. That’s why the secrecy. If it were something more sinister they’d just lie about it. They’re good at that.

    • Proud Mary says:

      I just tried to post something below about this. You must really have a very low opinion of the vicious British paps. Do you really believe that the same people who had the foresight to capture Harry and Meghan behind BP’s balcony from a far distance, are going to leave the rear of that facility unattended? Absolutely not. Right now, a shot of the mysteriously ill Kate is money. I believe either the tabloids have the pics, or she was never there.

    • Jaded says:

      Not a chance. There’s an army of photogs front and back, and as I understand it, if you leave by the back entrance you have to exit the back street via the front of the hospital. If she left she’d have a whole flotilla of royal SUVs and RPOs around her. My take is if she was there, she was helicoptered out secretly in the dead of night at least a week ago.

  26. Mary Pester says:

    My list of thanks is quite long so here goes, thanks camzilla, thanks Charlie, thanks Ms English, thanks Eden, thanks Fitzwilliam, thanks camel toe, and thank you to all the rota rats who are to many to mention. All of you can be assured, that myself, all my Celebitchy friends, the wonderful Kaiser and my mate Harry, will be forever grateful to all of you for proving, with your coverage of the medical musical beds performed by the left behind Royals that every single word written in Spare was accurate and on point. Never, ever again will your gaslighting work on anyone with even half a brain

  27. Shirley says:

    Maybe Kkhate used Chuck to sneak out the back.

    • Proud Mary says:

      I don’t think paps desperate to turn a buck are going to leave the back unattended. British paps in particular are notoriously vishous, and are good at getting what they want They can’t get away in America with doing what they do over there– remember the long lenses that captured Harry and Meghan behind the balcony during the queens last jubilee? Don’t fall for the claim that they can sneak Kate out without notice.
      Either the paps have papers have the picks and are suppressing them for whatever reasons, or she was never there.

  28. Rnot says:

    Charles is always wincing but he really looks like he’s in pain here. He wanted to show the world that he’s “back on his feet” so no cause for concern.

  29. JaneS says:

    Charles looks fine in this photo. At mid 70’s and after a medical procedure he has good color and appears steady on his feet, which for anyone at that age = Good.

    Kate has apparently undergone a much more difficult surgery.
    I hope she fully recovers.
    I don’t care if she ever comes back to full time public life. That is up to her.

    The Senior BRF gets a huge amount of coverage vs. other royal families.
    I always wonder why the royals from the Saudi Arabia/Oil billionaires families don’t get papped or gossiped about as much?
    They actually have power in their Govts and do make policy. No?

  30. JaneS says:

    I assumed King Charles and Camilla were expected to come out openly for photos.
    Look people of planet Earth…King Charles III, is fit and well. That has always been standard policy, has it not?

    Diana, Fergie, Kate all were photo’d very soon with their royal babies too. IIRC.
    Full hair and makeup, within 24 hours of giving birth, IIRC.

  31. Bklne says:

    Dear Chuckles,

    Glad (?) to hear your twig and berries are sorted. The FBI would still like to have a word with your pedo brother about what he’s been up to with his.

    🤢🤮

    Sincerely,
    Literally Everyone

  32. therese says:

    Athena made a very good point that I hadn’t thought of, probably because she is more media savvy than I am. That there should only be one press office for all the royals. That is such a good point, and THAT would show unity. I am wondering if Bill’s obfuscation of what is going on with his wife is fulfilling his obligations to the Rota, and if there will be blow back on him for not keeping his side of the bargain.

    I think it is pretty bad of that family to keep riding that girl out to perform when there is obviously something wrong with her, and has been. It is consistent with their MO of what can I get, rather than what can I give. Yes, Kate fell right in line with the terrible treatment of Princess Meghan. But it’s always different when it happens to us, right? Empathy springs from suffering, and I can only hope that she gains wisdom and empathy from what is happening to her now.

    I was so upset by the unbelievable and horrific treatment of Princess Meghan, that I went hunting online for ANYONE that was voicing the outrage that I felt, and that is how I found Celebitchy and the Sussex Squad sites.
