public duties, Buckingham Palace announces


Britain’s King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer and will step back from public-facing duties while he undergoes treatment, Buckingham Palace announced Monday

.The update came after Charles, 75, attended a London hospital for a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate last month.

Tests were carried out and revealed a “form of cancer,” the palace said in a statement on Monday. A royal source said that the form of cancer detected was not prostate cancer, but did not specify further. 

“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 said.

 “Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business
and official paperwork as usual,” it added.
