King Charles III Diagnosed With Cancer, Royal Family Says

King Charles III, 75, has been diagnosed with cancer, according to a statement from Buckingham Palace.

CNN reported that the news comes after he spent three nights at the London Clinic, a private hospital near Regent’s Park, for a prostate procedure.

“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,” the statement said. “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.”
