Buckingham Palace has revealed that King Charles is undergoing treatment for cancer, unrelated to prostate issues discovered during his enlarged prostate treatment.
The specific type of cancer remains undisclosed, but the palace, in a statement, stated that the King commenced “regular treatments” on Monday.
The statement added that despite the diagnosis, the King maintains a positive outlook on his treatment and anticipates a swift return to full public duties.
As a result of his health condition, King Charles will temporarily step back from public engagements.
The expectation is that other senior royals will fill in for him during this period, ensuring a seamless continuation of official duties.
