A little over a year after finally ascending the British throne, King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer.
Earlier this week, Buckingham Palace announced the saddening news, which came on the heels of a procedure the monarch had undergone to treat an enlarged prostate.
Details of the specific nature of Charles’s cancer remain scarce, though the Palace did confirm that it was not prostate cancer. The King has already started a “schedule of regular treatments”, while it’s been reported that he broke the news to his close family members himself.
