SHOCKING! Harry rushing back to UK after King Charles' cancer diagnosis; Meghan might skip

King Charles, 75, had spent three nights in the hospital last month after undergoing a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate when a separate issue of concern was noted.

According to reports, Charles has been diagnosed with cancer and will be avoiding public events after being advised by his doctors to minimize in-person contacts, Buckingham Palace announced Monday.

The announcement marks a striking departure from the past, when monarch’s ailments were often hidden from the public, according to royal experts.

“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,” the palace said in an emailed statement. “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”

The statement also did not specify what stage the cancer was found. Separately, Buckingham Palace said Charles did not have prostate cancer.
