“King Charles III has been diagnosed with a form of cancer and will suspend his public duties to undergo treatment,” the New York Times reports.
“The announcement, made by Buckingham Palace on Monday evening, came a week after the 75-year-old sovereign was discharged from a London hospital, after a procedure to treat an enlarged prostate. The palace did not disclose what form of cancer he has, but said the cancer was detected during that procedure.”
