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.

    You need to add a triple backslash, because two underscores count as cursive

    The first backslash cancels out the first underscore. The second backslash cancels out the first backslash, “re-enabling” the first underscore. The third backslash then cancels the underscore out again.

    • ¯\_(ツ)_/¯... : ¯_(ツ)_/¯
    • ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯.. : ¯\(ツ)
    • ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ : ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    (Dots for alignment. The fourth backslash in the last shrug makes sure no other cursive oddities happen if you use another underscore anywhere else in your post)

      “Cursive”? I think you mean italic.

          Honestly, for a split second, I was all “Holyshit, we can type in cursive now‽ Hell yeah!”, but alas. 🥹
