The type of cancer has not been revealed, but the King has started ‘regular treatments’, Buckingham Palace says.
Britain’s King Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer and will postpone public-facing duties, Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
The type of cancer has not been revealed but the king has started “regular treatments” and will continue to “undertake State business and official paperwork as usual,” said the statement.
King Charles, 75, had spent three nights in hospital last month after undergoing a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate, when a separate issue of concern was noted. The palace said that tests had identified a form of cancer. A royal source told the Reuters news agency that it was not prostate cancer.
The royal family usually does not share details about illnesses as they regard all medical issues as private matters.
