How King Charles’s cancer diagnosis will affect his royal duties
King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer and will be stepping back from his royal duties, Buckingham Palace has announced.
The King, 75, was diagnosed with a form of the disease discovered during an unrelated operation for an enlarged prostate last week, the palace said.
Buckingham Palace says the King “remains wholly positive about his treatment”. He will step back from public duties with senior royals expected to stand in for him.
