King Charles III was discharged from The London Clinic in Marylebone early Monday.
The 75-year-old royal smiled and waved to supporters who gathered to watch him exit the private hospital.

The condition Charles was admitted for was considered benign.
Following the procedure, the English monarch is expected to take up to a month off from public duties as he recovers.
More on the story from ABC News:
Charles is expected to resume public engagements after a “short period of recuperation.”
The palace first shared the news of Charles’ medical condition on Jan. 17, announcing that he would be hospitalized for a “corrective procedure.”
The king’s condition is said to be benign, meaning it is non-cancerous.
A palace source told ABC News previously that Charles wanted to share the news of his enlarged prostate diagnosis publicly to help raise awareness.
The Daily Mail reported on an official statement from Buckingham Palace:
Buckingham Palace released a statement following the King’s release from the hospital which read: ‘The King was this afternoon discharged from hospital following planned medical treatment and has rescheduled forthcoming public engagements to allow for a period of private recuperation.
ADVERTISEMENT‘His Majesty would like to thank the medical team and all those involved in supporting his hospital visit, and is grateful for all the kind messages he has received in recent days.’
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson had more to add. From the Daily Mail:
A Buckingham Palace spokesman previously said the King was ‘admitted to a London hospital for scheduled treatment’.
The spokesman added: ‘His Majesty would like to thank all those who have sent their good wishes over the past week and is delighted to learn that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness.’

NPR shares more:
The announcement came less than two hours after the palace said that the king’s daughter-in-law Princess Kate, who is married to William, Prince of Wales, the heir to the throne, had undergone a scheduled surgery for an unspecified abdominal complaint. The surgery was described as “successful” but the palace said she will remain in the hospital for 10 to 14 days and is not likely to return to her royal duties until Easter.
ADVERTISEMENTThe last time Kate, 42, made a public appearance was at a Christmas Day church service, according to The Times newspaper.
British news outlets said that the Prince of Wales was determined to stay by his wife’s side and had cleared many of his scheduled duties, casting doubt over a planned visit to Rome.
In a country known for its sometimes-frenetic interest in the lives of the royal family, the palace said the princess “appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible.”

What a joke!

REPORTS: King Charles To Step Down From Throne
I’m not sure why we’re always talking about “Bingo Cards” these days but if you had King Charles stepping down from the throne on your Bingo Card for 2024 you might have just landed a big score!
New reports are buzzing today that King Charles has made the decision to step down and yield the throne to William as soon as this “difficult transition period” is over.
King on Deck? 👑
King Charles could be giving up the throne early in favor of Prince William just as Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II is, according to royal expert(s), including Phil Dampier.

Here’s what the NY Post had to say:
King Charles could be giving up the throne early in favor of Prince William just as Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II is, according to royal experts.
The 83-year-old sovereign — third cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II — revealed in her New Year’s speech on Dec. 31 that she would be stepping down on Jan. 14.
The decision to abdicate her throne means that her son, Crown Prince Frederik, will now take the reins.
According to royal expert and biographer Phil Dampier, King Charles may be looking to make a similar move while William and his wife, Kate Middleton, are still young.
“It must make you wonder if, in five or ten years’ time, King Charles might think about doing the same if his health suffers or he just thinks it is a good time to pass on to William and Kate while they are still young,” he told the Daily Mail.
“Our late Queen would never abdicate because of what happened in 1936 when her uncle abdicated and her father came to the throne. But times change.”
Dampier’s comments were echoed by royal expert and commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, who said that Queen Margrethe’s decision to abdicate early could be to ensure that the monarchy kept up with the times — something Charles has expressed interest in implementing into his own Firm.
Queen Margrethe II smiles as she delivers her New Year’s speech.
Fitzwilliams told the outlet that Margrethe may have “calculated that an aging monarchy was not a good idea, especially if she had reigned for another decade or so.”
King Charles and the Queen of Denmark…strange times we are living in!
Welp…Looks like ole King Charles is stepping down too!!! Queen (of Denmark) steps down and now will Charles? B💥💥M!!

Grok confirms:
But can I be honest with you?
I don’t so much care about the “Royals”.
I don’t get why so many people, especially here in America, seem to worship them.
I don’t.
In fact, I’m much less interested in who is sitting their rumpus on the “Royal Throne” and much more interested in finding out why “King” Charles has Sausage Fingers:
EXPLAINED: Why Does “King” Charles Have Sausage Fingers?
Yes folks, this is a real article.
Yes, this is a real investigation.
I know many of you don’t much care about the Royals, and neither do I.
But I saw something today that was so strange I had to share it with you, and it’s all about King Charles’ hands and feet — and why do they look like sausages?
Not even sausages but “mini” sausages…
Please stick with me, because I’m very serious about this and you might agree once you see them.
Also, this is not something Photoshopped or fake — other news organizations are also exploring this strange phenomenon.
You may have seen these photos circulating around, but if not you are about to be shocked.
At least I was.
It’s actually kind of funny….everyone talking about how the Monarchy is in “good hands”.
They keep using the phrase “good hands”.
Which I guess led someone to actually zoom in on his hands, and well, see for yourself:

Now let’s dig into what’s actually going on here medically…
Because we’re not the only people talking about it.
Check this out:
Daily Star's @Thompson99999 cuts through the noise to get the story we ALL want to know about https://t.co/51cfbcQv3X
— Alex Wellman (@Alex_Wellman) September 9, 2022
Here’s what the Daily Star reported:
A doctor has weighed in after the internet exploded with speculation over King Charles III’s red and swollen fingers.
Dr Gareth Nye has spoken out on Charles’s hands following the death of the monarch’s mother Queen Elizabeth II.
Images of the new ruler’s hands have been circulating online since the Queen passed away yesterday (Thursday, September 8), aged 96 at her residence in Balmoral.
The Queen’s advanced age when she passed meant that her son and heir Charles was far from a young man when he ascended to the throne aged 73.
Taking to Twitter, user @Anaiishhh1said: “Have y’all ever seen Charles’s fingers”.
Meanwhile, @leahgaraas added: “A reminder that these are King Charles III’s fingers”.
Adding authority to the debate, Dr Gareth Nye, Senior Lecturer at the University of Chester, has spoken to the Daily Star to offer some expert advice on what the King’s swollen fingers could really say about his health.
He said that while “loads of conditions” could lead to swollen fingers, he said some were more likely than others.
One possibility was oedema, or fluid retention. Dr Nye said: “Oedema is a condition where the body starts to retain fluids in the limbs, normally the legs and ankles but also in the fingers which causes them to swell.
“Oedema is a common condition and mostly affects people over the age of 65 as the ability for fluid control is restricted,” he added.
“To see if this is the cause, pressing the swollen area for about 15 seconds would cause a depression in the area.”
Another condition Dr Nye said was a possibility was arthritis.
He said: “Arthritis- another common condition in the over 60s. It often affects three main areas in the hand – the thumb joint or either joints in the fingers.

Express.co also weighed in:
Pictures of the outing showed that Charles had painful-looking swelling in his feet, as well as hands.
The royal’s enlarged extremities could have been down to heat or due to the effects of a long-haul flight.
Inactivity and changes in atmospheric conditions while flying can result in swelling and water retention in some parts of the body.
After one long flight to Australia in 2012, Charles joked about having “sausage fingers” once he had landed.
Swelling in the arms or hands is caused by a build-up of fluid and can often subside on its own.
Known as oedema, the condition can be the result of staying in the same position for too long, eating too much salty food, being pregnant or taking certain medicines, according to the NHS.
Symptoms include swollen or puffy arms or hands and shiny, stretched skin.
Swelling can be eased in a whole host of ways, including lying down and using pillows to raise the swollen area, as well as moving and massaging affected areas of the body.
Exercising, drinking plenty of water and keeping arms or hands moisturised can also help.
So it looks like most experts are saying it’s oedema, and it doesn’t look good for him!
You can watch a live video of him from yesterday and judge for yourself:

Curious what you think about the Royal Family…
Do You Worship The Royals?
Up above I brought you an article about “King” Charles’ Coronation.
Yes, King Sausage Fingers himself.
What a joke!
What a waste of money!
What a waste of time!
Sorry, but I am not putting some human being up on a pedestal as “King” and worshipping them as some diety.
Give me a break!
And I know most of you don’t either.
I have received MANY comments like this one (names removed for privacy):
I’ve had a ton of those.
Thank you to everyone who has written.
But I do occasionally get emails like the one below saying how I was “disrespectful” (name again withheld for privacy):
No doubt this person probably stayed up all night long to watch the demonic Coronation.
To be fair, it’s like 95% positive, 5% negative when I talk about the Royals.
Most of you are with me and you realize the stupidity of worshipping another human being as a “Royal”.
What the hell makes them “Royal” anyway?
What a joke.
But I just have one simple question to the 5% who think this family somehow deserves to be literally called Kings and Queens: WHY?
Why do you worship human beings?
Why do you voluntarily just give your human sovereignty over to some fools who play dress up in these ludicrous costumes and try to tell us how much more important they are than us?
Then they just inbreed for their whole lives.
These inbreeding ingrates are who you worship and literally put up on pedestals?
Those pedestals would be their thrones.
You literally put them up in thrones and give them crowns and worship them as your leaders?
WHY???
Anyway, that’s my rant.
Curious to know if you’re in the 95% or the 5%….let me know!
UPDATE: Noah here and I can’t believe I didn’t think to tie this in…
But I’m back now and updating this article.
You want to know the best twist of all?
YOU and I are the true Royalty.
At least if you’re Christians, that is.
You do know what your Bible says about that right?
1 John 3:1:
See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
Galatians 4:7:
Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.
2 Corinthians 6:18:
“And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” Says the Lord Almighty.
There are a lot more, those are just a few.
So quick refresher if you’re still not following….if God the Father is the King and if we’re sons and daughters of the King, then what does that make us?
Royalty.
And isn’t that poetic?
Here was my original post from yesterday:
The Grim Reaper Visits “King” Charles’ Coronation
Why are we still coronating kings?
Why do we spend hundreds of millions of dollars celebrating some doofus wearing goofy clothes to literally lord over everyone else?
Not only do we tolerate it, we celebrate it!
I don’t.
And maybe you don’t either.
But the world is obsessed with the “Royals”.
