The King has cancer


What we know so far​

If you're just joining us, or need a quick recap, here's everything we currently know about the King's cancer diagnosis:
  • Less than an hour ago, Buckingham Palace released a statement saying King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer
  • It's not known what type of cancer the King, 75, has - but the Palace says it is not prostate cancer
  • A little more than a week ago, the King received hospital treatment for an enlarged prostate - the Palace described his "form of cancer" as a "separate issue of concern"
  • The King travelled back from his Sandringham estate, in Norfolk, this morning to begin treatment as an outpatient - he is said to be "wholly positive" about the care he's receiving
  • He'll stand back from public-facing duties for now - but "continue to undertake state business and official paperwork as usual"
  • Prince Harry, the monarch's younger son, will travel back to the UK having spoken to his father about his diagnosis, the BBC has been told
  • Politicians, including PM Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, have wished the King a speedy recovery
  • Along with its statement, the Palace also released this image of the King:

Rumors are swirling that Chuck's cancer is bad, he's readying his succession plans, etc.

Oh, and also, no one has seen the Princess of Wales in months. All kinds of conspiracy theories out there.
