King Charles III's cancer monopolized the covers of British newspapers and tabloids and, far from any creative turn, the United Kingdom press mostly decided on a direct style: “The King has cancer” was the most repeated headline.
The traditional newspaper The Times did not bring another story to its front page.
“The King has cancer
,” he titled and chose a posed photo of the monarch released by Buckingham Palace yesterday, in which he is seen during his visit to France in September last year.
The image is accompanied by a note about how the information was made known and the impact it had worldwide.

The Guardian, on the other hand, was the medium that gave the least weight to Rey's cancer diagnosis.
Without a photo, she put the song as the main title of her two-column cover, along with a photo of Taylor Swift that she swept at the Grammys.

The Daily Telegraph opted for the official photo released by the Palace press office and a catastrophic headline: “King has cancer.”
The newspaper reports that all of Charles III's engagements were cancelled, that he is “more optimistic than he can be,” that the type of cancer he has was not revealed, and that the diagnosis was a result of his prostate surgery.
“Knowing that he has the support of his people is going to strengthen his spirit,” says an opinion on the cover, as a second title.

The Independent published a photo of Charles III with Queen Camilla the day he came out of prostate surgery.
“King Charles is diagnosed with cancer
,” says the newspaper's only cover headline.

The free Metro, which is distributed on British public transport and says it reaches more than 5 million readers, repeats the Daily's title: “King has cancer.”
Carlos III appears in another photo with Camina, taken last Sunday, and it is one of the media that talks about the “shock” that the news generated in the royalty.

Financial Times, one of the most prestigious economic newspapers on the planet, has the main title of its edition: “The King was diagnosed with cancer.”
The FT, one of the most prestigious economic newspapers in the world, put the news on its cover.
The tabloid The Sun went with a first-person headline.
“The King: I have cancer.”
Furthermore, the tabloid speaks of a Nation in “shock” at the beginning of the treatment and that the King himself told his sons William and Harry the news.

The Daily Star also decided to go with the first person.
“King Chas: I have cancer,” headlines over a photo of the monarch's coronation on May 6.
“Harry travels back after the surprising news,” he says.

The sensationalist Daily Mail talks about a bomb due to Carlos III's cancer, but it goes one step further.
“Carlos is very grateful that they were able to catch him early,” is the main headline of the newspaper that presents three of the writers specialized in royalty with separate focuses on the King's illness.
“Get well soon, Sir.
His country needs him,” writes Sarah Vine.
“Will William and Harry finally reconcile?” asks Richard Kay.
“I wait so long to be King.
“Now this…” says the author of several books on the monarchy, biographer of Queen Elizabeth and Charles III, a firm with more than three decades dedicated to British Royalty.

Two Scottish newspapers also carried the news that put Great Britain on edge.
“Shock at the King's cancer diagnosis,” headlines the Press and Journal, which accompanies the news with a photo of Charles dressed in the traditional Scottish kilt and a sporran, a type of fanny pack.
The Daily Record, another Scottish print newspaper, talks about a fight against the disease.
“The King in a battle against cancer,” says its cover, which talks about a shocking diagnosis and how positive Carlos feels about the treatment he has already started.
