On Monday, Buckingham Palace issued a statement that read, “During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”

Charles, who took over the reins after his mother, Queen Elizabeth, passed away in 2022, will undergo regular treatments and step away from public duties for now.
