Sunak says King Charles III's cancer has been "detected early". The British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has expressed this on BBC radio.

Sunak has also added that he was in regular contact with the king and that this contact would continue during his treatment. The king's illness monopolizes the front pages of the British press. "I have cancer," headlines The Sun, while the Daily Mirror speaks of'shock', and the Daily Telegraph opens with a laconic "The king has cancer."
