King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis follows reports over the past two weeks about his health. On January 17, it was announced that the king would receive treatment for an enlarged prostate next week. By January 26, he visited the London Clinic, a private hospital in London, while Queen Camilla assured the public that he was in good health. On January 29, King Charles left hospital after three days of treatment, and the palace advised him to postpone his royal engagements for a period of recovery.
On February 4, King Charles III, accompanied by his wife Camilla, appeared at church in Sandringham, his first public appearance since his hospital stay. The following day, Buckingham Palace revealed that the king had been diagnosed with a form of cancer that was discovered during his recent treatment and had started standard therapy.
Buckingham Palace did not specify the type of cancer, except to clarify that it was not prostate cancer. The revelation came amid the king’s treatment for a benign prostate enlargement.
