King Charles III of the United Kingdom has been diagnosed with cancer, according to a statement made by Buckingham Palace Monday morning.
Buckingham Palace has confirmed that the cancer diagnosis is separate from his enlarged prostate that was reported previously.
As of now, we do not know what form of cancer King Charles III has been diagnosed with.
The news comes a week after both Kate and King Charles were discharged from a private London clinic after individual procedures. The king underwent a “corrective procedure” for an enlarged prostate, while Kate, 42, had an unspecified abdominal surgery on Jan. 17 for unspecified surgery.
“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 statement added.
King Charles ascended the throne last year in a May coronation ceremony months after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Elizabeth reigned until death at the age of 96 in September 2022. She was Britain’s longest-reigning monarch with 70 years on the throne.
Kate, meanwhile, is still in recovery but her husband Prince William is set to return to his royal duties by attending the London’s Air Ambulance Charity Gala Dinner on Wednesday.
