ing Charles III was diagnosed with cancer, which was discovered while he was being treated for prostate issues, Buckingham Palace said Monday.
“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 palace said.
Charles, 75, started cancer treatment on Monday and his doctors advised him to postpone public duties at this time, but the monarch of the United Kingdom will continue to conduct official business as usual, officials said.
“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,” the palace also said.
