King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer and begins treatment in London.
The shocking prognosis was given just one week after the 75-year-old British monarch was released from the hospital after a different treatment to treat an enlarged prostate.
How did the King Charles cancer get identified?
The King Charles will visit the hospital for a “corrective procedure” to treat a benign enlarged prostate, as stated by Buckingham Palace on January 17. This marked the beginning of Charles’ current health issues.
When he was at his Birkhall home in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, he was examined and subsequently identified when he started exhibiting symptoms.
After staying at the exclusive hospital close to Regent’s Park for three nights, King Charles was released from the London Clinic on January 29 and was earlier reported to be “doing well.” After a successful stomach surgery, Catherine, Princess of Wales, was discharged from the same hospital where he had been recovering.
However, the palace said on Monday that while the King was receiving that therapy, another matter of concern was noticed, and further testing revealed “a form of cancer.”
As of right now, no more information is anticipated on the cancer’s specific kind, which has not been disclosed. While not providing any details, a royal source informed CNN that the condition was not prostate cancer.
Rarely do specific medical issues pertaining to members of the royal family become public knowledge. In spite of their status as public employees, the palace believes that they have a right to some degree of medical privacy. That was the situation with the first prostate enlargement diagnosis. However, King Charles made the decision to disclose his diagnosis because he wished to inspire other men who might be exhibiting similar symptoms to seek medical attention.

When a disease potentially impact one’s ability to perform public obligations, the situation changes. By then, the palace would have to explain what’s happening, which is why they released a statement on Monday night.
The King’s cancer diagnosis was “caught early,” according to British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who made the announcement on Tuesday. Sunak made what seemed to be spontaneous comments during a radio interview with the BBC: “Thankfully, this has been discovered early, and now everyone will be hoping that he receives the care that he needs and makes a full recovery, Sunak remarked in what seemed to be spontaneous remarks during a radio interview with the BBC.
How’s King Charles doing?
After his hospital discharge on Sunday, King Charles was spotted for the first time. He seemed happy and upbeat, waving to onlookers as he and Queen Camilla travelled to St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, Norfolk, for a Sunday morning church service.
Afterwards, he went back to London and started receiving outpatient care before departing the city on Tuesday.
The King is delaying his public appearances while undergoing treatment, per the advise of his physicians. However, he will still do state business and complete official documents, according to the palace.
He “looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible and remains wholly positive about his treatment,” the statement continued.
So that he may continue going through state records at home, he’s probably going to be getting his red boxes filled with government paperwork every day. CNN is informed that if the King’s physicians urge him to limit face-to-face interaction, other plans will be devised and it is expected that he would maintain his weekly meeting with the prime minister.
It is also agreed that he will be accessible for official state obligations, such as attending sessions of the Privy Council. But specifics of how that would happen are still being ironed out.
