King Charles III has been diagnosed with Cancer

The type of cancer was not shared — it's not prostate cancer, but the tumor was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate. The king immediately began the treatments, and during this time he postpones public duties.

According to a statement from the palace, His Majesty has decided to share his diagnosis with the public to prevent speculation and in the hope that it will help the public to better understand the plight of those affected by cancer around the world.

The 75-year-old monarch "remains completely positive about his treatment and is looking forward to returning to full civil service as soon as possible," they added.

No further details about the cancer's stage or prognosis have been shared at this time.

The monarch's illness has a great impact on public opinion and we hope that it will draw the attention of many to the importance of screening tests and a healthy lifestyle.
