King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace has revealed in a statement.
The King was treated in hospital last month for a benign prostate condition, and the palace said “a separate issue of concern was noted” during the stay.
A statement released from the palace at 6pm on Monday in London, the United Kingdom, said the King has “commenced a schedule of regular treatments.”
During his treatment, King Charles “has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties,” but “will continue to undertake state business and official paperwork as usual.”
King Charles ascended to the throne on September 8, 2022 after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and his coronation was held in March last year.
