His Majesty King Charles has released a statement saying that during a recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted and subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.
He has begun a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.
Assist public understanding for those affected by cancer
The statement said that 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.
