King
Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer, says Buckingham Palace.
It is not prostate cancer, but was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate.
The type of
cancer has not been revealed, but according to a palace statement the King
began “regular treatments” on Monday.
Buckingham
Palace says the King “remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks
forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.”
The King
informed both his sons personally about his diagnosis and Prince William was
said to be in regular contact with his father.
Prince
Harry, who lives in the United States, spoke to his father and will be
travelling to the UK to see him in the coming days.
The King
will postpone his public engagements and it is expected other senior royals
will help to stand in for him during his treatment.
No further
details are being shared on the stage of cancer or a prognosis.
“His
Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the
hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are
affected by cancer.” the Palace said.
