Words of concern have poured in from political leaders past and present after Buckingham Palace made a shock announcement this evening that King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer.
“I have no doubt he’ll be back to full strength in no time and I know the whole country will be wishing him well,” said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, as he wished His Majesty King Charles III “a full and speedy recovery.”
In the statement released by the Palace this afternoon, it did not confirm what kind of cancer the 75-year-old King has been diagnosed with.
A little over a week ago, the monarch spent three nights at the London Clinic private hospital where he received treatment for an enlarged prostate. The Palace said at the time that his condition was benign but that he decided to go public with it to help end stigma surrounding prostate problems and encourage other men to get their prostates checked.
