Really hope he manages to get some rest, poor bloke. Missing church must be stressful for him also.:0)

Private prayer session ?

Romans can and did celebrate Mass anywhere. I am not sure if Anglicans have more strict rules about Communion.

oh god did you hear hahahahaha  this morning R4,  - suppose Wills is less religious than previous monarchs, what then for the Supreme Governor  - and I thought of Edward VII as a church pious man. Lardy !

IME most hospitals provide far better praying facilities than the average church. 

[anneasquith]

Well no. He'd be weeing all the time .

[MargoTester]

What a charming person

[jackthehat]

Is this aimed at the King, or the newspaper which has printed this story?

[naomi24]

How mean spirited.  

[barry1010]

We have Communion at home once a month, our oldsters can no longer cope with going to church.  

[Barmaid]

If it is aimed at the DailyWail, I get it.  But in reality the stuff they print is a crock of poo.

If it is aimed at the man, it is an extremely unpleasant post.  I applaud the King for having it announced (and many men find it extremely embarrassing) and hope it encourages other men to get tested.  

[nicebloke1]

When is the penny going to drop? Getting tested is easy and very quick, done at your local doctors. Getting treament at the moment is zero.

[barry1010]

Not true in my case, nicebloke.  I'm getting excellent treatment.

[nicebloke1]

In your barry maybe so. But theres thousands waiting and waiting and being told dont know when. I have two mates that have been waiting so speaking from experience, and its getting worse by the day.

[nicebloke1]

Your case^

[naomi24]

I know a couple of people being treated for that condition.  They've no complaints.  

[Barmaid]

My father was treated extremely quickly on the NHS and has been monitored since.  It was the monitoring that enabled them to catch it when the cancer returned (I accept there is no suggestion the King has cancer).  I do get the anger at waiting lists though and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to how they work.  

[naomi24]

Nicebloke seems to be moaning because, like thousands of others, the king isn't being treated on the NHS.  

[davebro3]

// there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to how they work.//

Agreed - I know personally of 2 gents in pain & needing hip replacements. One got his in 2 months the other waited 2 years.

[nicebloke1]

Out of the many thousands that are waiting some will know some who have had treatment, that dont alter the fact that there are way to many waiting. But all this hype about the King is what it is hype, nothing more than a smoke screen for the real problem in this area, and others.

[davebro3]

Prostate-wise. I think if the diagnosis is cancer you will be treated one way or another pretty quickly (on the NHS).

If it's a benign condition you will have to a wait depending on what treatment you want or is recommended & where you live.

[naomi24]

Well the 'smokescreen' doesn't seem to have hidden whatever you're talking from you, nicebloke.
