King Charles III of England suffers from "a form of cancer," Buckingham Palace said. He will follow a "schedule of regular treatments" that will keep him away from public duties.
"Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to carry out state affairs and official roles as usual," they clarified. The U.S. State Department said they were aware of the situation and were monitoring it closely, but did not have any further information. The King will be out of public view for a few weeks, the palace said.
