Buckingham Palace has revealed that King Charles, who recently took the crown after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth, has been diagnosed with a form of cancer.
From the BBC:
It is not prostate cancer, but was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate.
The type of cancer has not been revealed, but according to a palace statement the King began "regular treatments" on Monday.
Cancer absolutely sucks, and for a person of King Charles' age, treatment will be extremely taxing.
The Palace hasn't revealed what kind of cancer Charles is suffering from, except to say it is NOT prostate cancer.
The King, 75, returned to London from Sandringham in Norfolk on Monday morning and the palace says he has commenced treatment as an outpatient.
Although he will pause his public events, the King will continue with his constitutional role as head of state, including paperwork and private meetings.
Here's the statement from Buckingham Palace:
