Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace made the statement on Monday evening, one week after the 75-year-old sovereign was released from a London hospital following an operation to cure an enlarged prostate.
The palace did not reveal the type of illness the king has, but the palace official stated it is not prostate cancer. Doctors discovered cancer throughout the procedure, and the king started treatment on Monday.
The statement includes, “During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,” the palace said in a statement. “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.
His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.”
They added, “Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake state business and official paperwork as usual,” the palace continued.
“The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.”
