King Charles III of England (76) revealed that he had been diagnosed with cancer and had begun treatment. U.S. President Joe Biden, who lost his eldest son to brain cancer, prayed for his recovery, saying, “Cancer treatment requires absolute courage.” Leaders of various countries, including French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, also showed their support.
Buckingham Palace, the British royal family, said in a statement on the 5th (local time), “The King recently underwent a follow-up diagnostic test due to concerns (about cancer) during a benign prostatic hyperplasia procedure, and cancer was confirmed.”
“He began regular treatment today and the King will carry out state affairs and paperwork as usual,” he added. He added that he is maintaining a positive attitude despite his cancer diagnosis and is looking forward to returning to public service as soon as possible. However, it appears that it will be difficult to attend large-scale public events for the time being.
Buckingham Palace did not disclose specific details about the type and stage of cancer he had. “We decided to share the results in the hope that this information will help better understand people around the world affected by cancer,” he said. The Daily Mail reported that his cancer was discovered early and his prognosis was good. Prince Harry, the second son of Charles III, who left the royal family in 2020 and was once estranged from his father, will also come to the UK from the United States, where he currently resides, to meet his father, US entertainment media outlet People reported.
If Charles III is unable to perform any of his constitutional duties and the state functions are not properly performed, his eldest son, Prince William, who is first in line to the throne according to the ‘Regency Act’ created in 1937, is expected to take over Charles III’s duties, according to the United States. CNN broadcast reported.
Charles III became monarch in September 2022 following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. He held his coronation in May 2023, making him the world’s oldest monarch. He was crowned crown prince in 1958, 65 years after his installation. He married his first wife, Diana Bean, in 1981, but continued his affair with his past lover, Camilla Parker Bowles. They divorced in 1996, and Diana died in a car accident in Paris the following year. Charles III and Camilla remarried in 2005, but since Princess Diana was loved by the public, the public did not view them well.
