The monarch received the diagnosis after his recent prostate surgery.
King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace said in a statement Monday.
The palace did not go into detail about the kind of cancer the 75-year-old British monarch has or its severity.
“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,” the palace said in a statement shared with HuffPost.
“Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,” the palace’s statement read. “His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.”
The palace noted that Charles “will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.”
