King Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer, says Buckingham Palace.

The type of cancer has not been revealed - it is not prostate cancer, but was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate. The King began “regular treatments” on Monday and will postpone public duties during the treatment, the Palace said.

The King, 75, “remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible,” it added. No further details are being shared on the stage of cancer or a prognosis.

Although he will pause his public events, the King will continue with his constitutional role as head of state, including paperwork and private meetings.

    It’s ass cancer, as they were doing a prostate checkup and the pr men don’t want to say what type.

      In a way, I guess you could say he’s going out like Edward II.

      Could be bladder cancer. Either way, the Palace wouldn’t say because he’s getting a stoma and a bag.
