The Royal Family has gotten some bad news…
According to a report from The New York Post, King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer just fifteen months after taking the throne, Buckingham Palace announced Monday.
“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,” the palace said in a statement. “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.
“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.
“Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual,” the palace added.
Charles was recently in hospital being treated for an enlarged prostate, but the Palace refrained from identifying the specific type of cancer Charles has been diagnosed with.
“The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure,” the statement from the palace continued.
