King Charles has cancer.
The palace made the diagnosis public.
However, he left out one important detail – for good reason.
London – The short reign of King Charles III.
(75) is not under a good star - at least when it comes to health.
The prostate operation was followed by the shock diagnosis: Buckingham Palace confirmed that Charles had cancer.
King Charles has cancer: Palace deliberately does not publish details
“An issue of concern was identified during the King's recent hospitalization for benign prostate enlargement.
Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,” the British royal family said in a statement.
The public does not know what type of tumor it is.
All that is known is that the new illness was discovered as part of Charles' recent treatment and the cancer has nothing to do with the prostate.
The royals obviously chose carefully not to make certain details of the diagnosis public.
King Charles makes illnesses public to raise people's health awareness
In order to maintain a certain level of privacy, the British royals used to shy away from going public when their members were ill.
This has changed in recent years.
At this point we should remember Duchess Kate's open dealing with severe pregnancy sickness.
The monarch also consciously chose this path.
When Buckingham Palace announced Charles' prostate treatment, it was to raise awareness, as the subject is taboo for many men.
As the
Mirror
writes, this approach proved to be a hit.
Accordingly, the National Health Service recorded an increase in the number of visitors to its page on prostate problems.
The British royal family followed the same calculation when Charles was diagnosed with cancer.
Their statement said: "His Majesty decided to share his diagnosis to avoid speculation and in the hope that it may contribute to the public's understanding of all people affected by cancer around the world."

According to the Mirror
, the decision not to withhold details of the cancer diagnosis
also follows a pattern.
According to this, “extensive speculation about treatment and prognosis” should be avoided.
On the one hand, privacy should be protected and, on the other hand, unnecessary public concern should be prevented.
By the way: This is what is known so far about Charles' cancer diagnosis.
