The announcement of Charles III's cancer moved well beyond the United Kingdom. Since last night, those (more or less) close to the sovereign have shown their affection and sadness following the news.

French President Emmanuel Macron wanted to convey his “friendships to King’s Charles III, a few hours after the announcement of his cancer. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan: “On behalf of Londoners, I wish Her Majesty a speedy and complete recovery.” Many Commonwealth Prime Ministers have conveyed the same wishes, including Justin Trudeau of Canada and Philip Brave Davis of the Bahamas.
