The type of cancer has not been revealed - it is not prostate cancer, but was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate.

The King began "regular treatments" on Monday and will postpone public duties during the treatment, the Palace said.

The King, 75, "remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible," it added.

No further details are being shared on the stage of cancer or a prognosis.

The King informed both his sons personally about his diagnosis and the Prince of Wales was said to be in regular contact with his father.

The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, who lives in the United States, spoke to his father and will be travelling to the UK to see him in the coming days.

The King returned to London from Sandringham in Norfolk on Monday morning and the palace says he has commenced treatment as an outpatient.

Although he will pause his public events, the King will continue with his constitutional role as head of state, including paperwork and private meetings.

There is a constitutional mechanism for when the head of state is unable to carry out official duties - in that circumstance "counsellors of state" can be appointed to stand in for the monarch.

As a medical student. I want to advice you to stop talking about health issues you have zero knowledge of.

If money could save life, this king will live forever!

Meanwhile who else noticed theifnuubu top supporters do not comment anymore on nairaland? Some of them have even deactivated their NL accounts! The protest has already begun. I am surprised they have tagged the protest as Igbo or obi sponsored protest. Idiots everywhere!

Let the protest be limited to only north and SW

I wish him quick rcovery.

I knew Williams was desperate for power but I never expected him to take out his own father.
