Britain’s king Charles has been diagnosed with cancer, reports Buckingham Palace.
Reuters and British broadcasting company BBC.
According to the BBC, a prince living in the United States Harry will be traveling to Britain for the news in the next few days.
The palace says that 75-year-old King Charles’ cancer is not prostate cancer. The monarch spent three nights in the hospital last month due to an operation to “correct” an enlarged prostate. According to Palats, the tests revealed cancer at the time.
According to the palace, the king’s public duties have been postponed due to cancer treatments. However, according to the BBC, he will continue his work in other areas, which means, for example, signing official documents.
The palace does not share more details about the cancer or its severity, but Charles is said to be optimistic about the treatments.
Several wishes for a speedy recovery have already been expressed to the king. For example, the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak comment on the matter in community service X.
– I am sure that he will soon be back to his full strength, and I know that the whole country wishes him to get better, Sunak writes.
According to the press release, King Charles wanted to inform about his illness so that there would be no speculation about it.
The King was last seen in public on Sunday when he attended a church service at Sandringham.
