Today, Buckingham Palace made a major announcement that has left the world in shock. King Charles, aged 75, has been diagnosed with cancer and has already started treatment for it. The Palace did not disclose specific details about the type of cancer or its stage. The diagnosis came as a result of a routine procedure for an enlarged prostate, but it is important to note that the cancer is not prostate-related.
While His Majesty is a private person, the Palace released a statement regarding his diagnosis. It said, “During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.” The statement also mentioned that King Charles would be postponing public duties during his treatment but expressed hope and optimism about his prognosis.
The King’s schedule will now revolve around regular treatments, and he will be following medical advice to avoid public-facing duties for the time being. However, it is reassuring to know that he will continue to undertake state business and official paperwork as usual. King Charles remains positive about his treatment and eagerly anticipates returning to full public duty as soon as possible.
By sharing his diagnosis, the King aims to prevent speculation and raise public understanding about cancer. In doing so, he hopes to provide support to others worldwide who are also affected by this disease.
The last public sighting of King Charles was at a church service in Sandringham on Sunday, where he waved to the crowds. The King, who became Charles III upon ascending the throne in September 2022 after the passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, is known for being the oldest person to assume the British throne. Having been the longest-serving heir and Prince of Wales, he was coronated on May 6.
Meanwhile, Princess Kate is currently recovering from abdominal surgery, and Prince William is fulfilling his scheduled royal duties. In fact, he is set to attend London’s Air Ambulance Charity Gala Dinner on Wednesday, as reported by NBC News.
