Buckingham Palace announced on Monday that British King Charles III has cancer and has begun receiving treatment. The Royal Palace said in a statement that the king (75 years old) was diagnosed with a type of cancer following the recent surgery he underwent in the hospital due to an enlarged prostate.
Charles III spent three nights in hospital last month after undergoing prostate surgery. The announcement of the king's illness sparked widespread reactions in Britain, and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and opposition Labor Party leader Keir Starmer expressed their wishes for his speedy recovery.
