Earlier this month, King Charles III went into hospital for a medical procedure. What was meant to be routine quickly took a turn for the worse. The King was diagnosed with cancer of a type that hasn’t yet been shared with the public.

At 75 years of age, King Charles says that he is “wholly positive about his treatment and is looking forward to getting back to public duty as soon as possible.” King Charles has withdrawn from public appearances for the moment but will “undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.”

The British public appreciate transparency and the Royal family has always met the public’s expectations. King Charles’ illness is no exception.

King Charles’ illness has come hot on the heels of his daughter-in-law, Princess Catherine’s ill health. She recently spent thirteen days in hospital after abdominal surgery and won’t return to public duty until after Easter. With both King Charles and Princess Catherine’s withdrawal from public appearances, there are fewer Royals meeting with the public.

Prince William has stepped into his father’s shoes for the near future. After a brief absence while he helped care for his wife, Princess Catherine, he returned to public duties.

What do the public think about King Charles’ cancer announcement? Just 72 years ago, King George VI died of cancer. At the time, the media and the British public didn’t even know that the King was sick. King Charles III chose to make his diagnosis public “to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.” The British public are grateful for this information but the people have questions for the palace. They would like to know what type of cancer the King has, and what his treatment and prognosis are.
