King Charles III of Britain has been diagnosed with cancer, according to Buckingham Palace, though the specific type hasn’t been disclosed, Associated Press reports.
Charles, 75, has commenced treatment and will temporarily suspend public engagements, but will continue with state business. Despite his diagnosis, he remains optimistic and hopes to return to full duties soon. His openness about his health contrasts with historical royal secrecy and raises awareness about cancer.
The news comes amid other royal health concerns, including Princess Kate’s recovery from surgery. Prince Harry plans to visit his father, and political leaders have expressed their support.
