On Monday, Buckingham Palace revealed that King Charles III, aged 75, has received a diagnosis of cancer. The announcement came following a recent hospital procedure at the London Clinic, initially intended to address benign prostate enlargement. During this medical intervention, a separate and concerning issue was identified, leading to subsequent diagnostic tests confirming the presence of cancer.
The official statement from Buckingham Palace emphasized that the King has commenced a regular treatment regimen. In light of this, medical advice prompted him to temporarily defer public-facing duties. Despite this, the monarch is committed to maintaining his engagement in State business and official responsibilities. The statement expressed gratitude to the medical team for prompt intervention, facilitated by the prior hospital procedure, and conveyed the King’s optimism regarding the treatment, with a hopeful return to full public duty in the near future.

The decision to disclose the diagnosis was made to prevent speculation and contribute to public understanding, particularly for those globally affected by cancer. Last month, King Charles III underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate at the London Clinic and was discharged after a three-night stay.
Earlier in January, Buckingham Palace had announced the King’s scheduled hospital visit for a procedure to address his enlarged prostate. At that time, the statement clarified that the condition was benign, and public engagements would be briefly postponed for his recuperation.
