Stating specifically that it was not prostrate cancer, the specific cancer type remains undisclosed. However, as per an official statement, the King initiated “regular treatments” on Monday.
Despite the health challenge, the King, 75, maintains a positive outlook on his treatment and eagerly anticipates a swift return to full public duty, according to the palace. Consequently, he will temporarily defer his public engagements, with other senior royals expected to step in on his behalf during the treatment period.
Details regarding the cancer stage and prognosis are being kept confidential. Nevertheless, while pausing public events, the palace indicated the King will persist in fulfilling his constitutional role as the head of state. The monarch was spotted at a church service in Sandringham on Sunday, where he acknowledged well-wishers.
