King Charles’ prognosis during his cancer diagnosis may be a “good” thing.

As per the Daily Mail, the condition was caught “very early.”

The British monarch's cheerful demeanour and commitment to his responsibilities, the publication said on Monday, have "amazed" his family and friends.

Charles, 75, was diagnosed with an unidentified type of cancer while having a "procedure for benign prostate enlargement" last month, according to a statement made by Buckingham Palace earlier in the day.

“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties,” the statement read.

“Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.”

The statement made sure to highlight that the king “is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.”

Charles opted to share the news publicly “to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.”

The king, who succeeded to the throne in May 2023 after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, passed away in September 2022 at the age of 96, just had "a corrective procedure" to cure his enlarged prostate, which required a week-long hospital stay.

Shortly after it was revealed that his daughter-in-law Kate Middleton had "planned abdominal surgery," word spread out about his operation.

“The surgery was successful and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery,” a statement read on behalf of the Princess of Wales.

Although William, 41, and his brother, Prince Harry, are not close, Page Six has learned from sources that their father's illness may compel them to make a tense truce.

Harry, 39, was scheduled to go from California to London on Monday to see his father again, as Page Six revealed.

The two children of the Duke of Sussex, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as well as his wife, Meghan Markle, will not be travelling with him, according to insiders.
