Queen Elizabeth II ruled for 70 years, making her Britain’s longest-reigning monarch in history.
Therefore, one would be forgiven for, perhaps, forgetting that she wasn’t immortal.
While many of the monarchy’s traditions might appear ancient, their healthcare kept up with the times.
In fact, many royal physicians work at other hospitals or have private practices.
He explained that treating members of the monarchy wasn’t much different from treating ordinary patients.
However, the royal physician becomes a part of the institution.
While Sir Huw Thomas was a gastroenterologist, Charles' new doctor, Michael Dixon, specializes in homeopathy.
He is known for favoring homeopathic treatments and has actively advocated for its use.
“Dr. Dixon does not believe homeopathy can cure cancer.
The king also used the statement to make it clear that he doesn’t reject Western medicine.
Previously, the duke underwent emergency heart surgery in 2011 at the NHS Papworth Hospital.
Similarly, Princess Margaret had lung surgery at Royal Brompton Hospital’s specialist NHS heart and lung center.
At private hospitals, the royals' impact on the day-to-day schedule can be minimized.
The hospital specializes in personal care, sporting only 56 beds in total and a low patient-to-nurse ratio.
Its grand opening was conducted by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1932.
When Princess Catherine gave birth to Prince George, for instance, the palace never named her doctors.
Then, of course, there’s the monarch’s personal physician.
Her sister was admitted to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for the birth of her daughter.
Princess Diana followed in her footsteps with both her children.
Yup, the royal family favored home births for a long time.
Prince Andrew and Prince Edward were also both born at Buckingham Palace instead of a hospital.
magazine, consultant obstetrician and gynecologist Professor Tiong Ghee Teoh said that Catherine was surrounded by a massive team.
“Everyone was sworn to secrecy.”
All of this needs to be pulled off without a hitch while keeping the hospital running normally.
Like us normal folks, they get their bloodwork done and go for cancer screenings.
King Charles III favors long walks and a plant-based diet.
He’s like a mountain goat.
He leaves everybody miles behind.”
The monarch and the runner-up to the throne also sometimes travel with their own blood supply.
This blood supply travels with their convoy throughout their royal tour.
