King Charles III Diagnosed With Cancer by Yourprick(op): 7:43pm On Feb 05, 2024

King Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer, says Buckingham Palace.

It is not prostate cancer, but was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate.

The type of cancer has not been revealed, but the palace said the King began "regular treatments" on Monday.

Buckingham Palace says the King "remains wholly positive about his treatment". He will postpone his public engagements, with senior royals expected to stand in for him.

The King "looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible", the palace said.

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 Prince William was said to be in regular contact with his father.

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.

Statement in full: King diagnosed with cancer
William to return to work after Kate's surgery
The King, 75, 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.

At present that includes Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Anne and Prince Edward, with Prince Harry and Prince Andrew no longer to be called on as non-working royals.

Prince William had also temporarily withdrawn from public engagements while he helped his wife Catherine, the Princess of Wales, as she recovered from "abdominal surgery".

But it was announced earlier on Monday he would return to public duties later this week.

King Charles III openness about his cancer diagnosis is an invaluable one. A positive approach to illness. He did not keep an airplane on the ground for like an eternity and at a great expense to the public till nor was he kept in a polythene bag drying up like stock fish just to remain in office or worse still doing round trips to and fro France conducting "private visits"! Wonder why they hide their health issues thus overheating the polity!!! Human frailty is an undeniable fact of life.

Nigerian leaders will keep hiding their ailments until they die. Namibia’s President who died declared he had cancer and was treated in the capital until he died
. Akeredolu never disclosed anything but always running to Germany until he died

For someone who takes thorough and relentless care of his health. Meanwhile one Iya basira has been selling agbo and other concoctions to baba Jide for 53 years now, yet he's hale and hearty.

Summarily
1. King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer, although the specific type has not been disclosed, it was discovered during treatment for an enlarged prostate.
2. Regular treatments began on Monday, and the King remains optimistic about his treatment.
3. He will postpone public engagements while senior royals fill in for him.
4. The palace stated the King anticipates returning to full public duty soon.
5. Both of his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, were informed personally about his diagnosis, with Prince Harry planning to visit him in the UK. Additionally, there's a plan in place for the continuation of royal duties in case the King is unable to fulfill them temporarily.

Good, your beloved leaders too are also at risk

You too are also at risk of cancer.

Eat healthy, exercise, and don't stress over the small stuff.

Namibia's president went to the USA for cancer treatment, before he returned home to Namibia to die.

He went for an experimental treatment. DId not work.

This is not Twitter where stupid, controversial comments generate impressions that translate to dollars. Stop using the brain of a 2-day-old.
