King Charles III cancer 'caught early': PM

King Charles III's cancer diagnosis sparks support, as treatment begins for the 75-year-old monarch.
King Charles III's cancer was caught early, U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Tuesday, after treatment began for the monarch who is just 18 months into his reign.
Buckingham Palace has not specified the type of cancer afflicting the 75-year-old monarch, who has stepped back from his public appearances but continues his other official state duties.
The shock announcement sparked an immediate deluge of messages of support, with Charles's estranged son Prince Harry saying he had spoken with his father and would visit him soon.
Charles's diagnosis will prolong a frontline shortage of royals created by Charles's prostate procedure and the almost simultaneous hospitalisation of Catherine, Princess of Wales.
"Thankfully, this has been caught early and now everyone will be wishing that he gets the treatment that he needs and makes a full recovery," Mr. Sunak told the BBC.
"I think that's what we're all hoping and praying for and I am, of course, in regular contact with him and will continue to communicate with him as normal," he added.
Charles, who became king upon the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on September 8, 2022, has generally been reported to be in good health, barring injuries from polo and skiing.
