News just in say that King Charles III of England has been diagnosed with cancer.
Buckingham Palace confirmed the news today, Monday, February 5, noting that the 75-year-old is now receiving the proper treatment for the illness.
“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 in a statement issued earlier.
It, however, said that King Charles “remains wholly positive” and “looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.”
The announcement comes a week after Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles III was admitted to a hospital in London for scheduled surgery for an enlarged prostate.
The Palace released a statement saying, “The king was this morning admitted to a London hospital for scheduled treatment.”
The palace adds that all public engagements by the monarch are cancelled.
