of cancer and has initiated treatment. This disclosure comes mere days after his discharge from medical care
following prostate surgery. Despite this development, the palace assures that the monarch maintains an
optimistic outlook and eagerly anticipates resuming his full array of public duties in due course.
In response to the news, Prince Harry, estranged from his father, conveyed his intention to visit and express support for the ailing king. Amidst residing in California with his wife Meghan, Prince Harry intends to journey to the UK in the forthcoming days, according to sources close to him.
Having ascended to the throne upon the demise of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, King Charles III has generally enjoyed robust health, notwithstanding occasional injuries sustained from sporting activities.

In adherence to medical counsel, the king has opted to curtail public appearances temporarily, although he remains committed to fulfilling state obligations and administrative responsibilities. His decision to divulge his cancer diagnosis aims to dispel speculation and foster empathy among individuals globally grappling with similar afflictions.
Expressions of goodwill and wishes for a prompt recovery inundated the monarch following the palace’s announcement.
