King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer.
It is not prostate cancer, but the diagnosis was made during treatment of the 75-year-old’s enlarged prostate, according to the BBC. Buckingham Palace made the announcement Monday in a statement.
The type of cancer has not been revealed, but the King began “regular treatments” Monday. King Charles “remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible,” the statement said.
The leader has paused public events and appearances for now, but he will continue to serve in the constitutional role as head of state.
