King Charles has been diagnosed with what officials have only called “a form of cancer”.

The announcement came Monday in a release from Buckingham Palace stating it was discovered following a recent hospital procedure to address a benign prostate enlargement.

Regular treatments have been commenced to address the cancer.

However, while the King has been advised by doctors to postpone any public-facing events, he will still continue to undertake State business and paperwork as usual.
