King Charles III of the United Kingdom has been diagnosed with cancer after recently being treated for a benign prostate enlargement. It remains to be seen what type of cancer Charles is encountering; as one brief formal statement has been released from Buckingham Palace recapitulating the King’s prognosis. It is also said that he will continue to fulfill his duties of the monarchy from the safety of his home.
The king started regular treatments for the cancer and will allegedly make a smooth recovery. The Monarch, 75, “remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible,” Buckingham Palace released in their statement regarding the diagnosis.
“I am hopeful that the king will be in a better condition [to resume his obligations full as a ruler],” NHS freshman Nailah Peters said.
Charles was grateful for the comfort and encouragement after receiving approximately 7,000 Get Well cards and kind words from his people. He was simply brought to tears because of the support from followers across the world.
“It seems odd that [Buckingham Palace] wouldn’t even say what type of cancer it is, especially since it impacts the whole nation’s well-being. If it affects the way he does his job, then [the palace] needs to be more forthcoming [pertaining to the diagnosis]. If there was something wrong with our president, we would want to know,” NHS freshman Jolene Brackett said.
Though the signals coming from the palace have been positive, it remains to be seen if further precautions will be taken in terms of the King’s health.
It has been approximately 17 months since Charles acceded to the throne after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, his mother. She reigned for more than seventy years, longer than any British monarch in history.
“His cancer diagnosis is shocking; as Queen Elizabeth was quite healthy,” NHS freshman Clare Csaszar said.
If King Charles is unable to fulfill his royal duties, his eldest son, Prince Williams will step up to the throne.
The state of King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis has yet to be determined though there have been many speculations. The future of England’s royal family is uncertain as a result.
