LONDON, Sept. 24— (AP) —King George VI was reported in good spirits today and confident of recovery from a major lung operation.
A palace spokesman said Queen Elizabeth spent the morning with her husband, but that no other members of the royal family have been permitted to see him.
The spokesman was much more cheery than an earlier medical bulletin which merely reported that the king's condition was "as satisfactory as can be expected."
He told a reporter:
The king is in good spirits, as far as one can be after an operation like this. He seems confident of recovery.
"The Queen has been with him this morning."
A morning medical bulletin said the king "has had a restful night."
It came after a Buckingham Palace source had reported that the king "made it safely" through the first crucial night after his operation yesterday morning.
Anxious Britons, who had prayed for the safety of their beloved monarch, got no indication of the king's exact condition in his battle against the after-effects of the surgery.
