King Charles has cancer. Here’s what we know

The British monarch has been diagnosed with cancer and has commenced treatment in London.

King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer and has started treatment in London. The shock diagnosis comes a week after the 75-year-old British monarch left hospital following a separate procedure for an enlarged prostate. Here’s what we know. Charles’ recent health problems started last month when Buckingham Palace announced on January 17 that the King would attend hospital to undergo a “corrective procedure” for a benign enlarged prostate. He had been diagnosed after experiencing symptoms and receiving a check-up while at his Birkhall residence in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. He was discharged from the London Clinic on January 29 and was previously said to have been “doing well” after spending three nights at the private hospital near Regent’s Park. He was released hours after Catherine, Princess of Wales, left the same facility where she had been resting following a successful abdominal operation.
