According to the statement, the king wanted to share his diagnosis in part to avoid speculation on his condition but also "in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer."

Charles is grateful for the swift intervention of his medical team and their expert care, according to Buckingham Palace.

No further details are being shared about his treatment or prognosis, a palace spokesperson said, but the king returned to London on Monday to begin out-patient treatment.

Charles ascended the throne last May in a coronation ceremony held months after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Elizabeth reigned until her death at the age of 96 in September 2022. She was Britain's longest-reigning monarch with 70 years on the throne.

Kate is still in recovery, but her husband, Prince William, is set to return to his royal duties by attending the London’s Air Ambulance Charity Gala Dinner on Wednesday.

Kensington Palace previously said the Princess of Wales is unlikely to return to her royal duties before Easter, on March 31. There was no date specified for the king’s return to duties.

Surprised this thread hasn't had any comment (though the general UK thread has some on this)

If they have caught it early enough, it should be treatable. Even in my adult lifetime, cancer is much less of a death sentence in short order than it once was.

Hopefully. But I also feel that if this was caught very early, and would likely go away quickly, they wouldn’t have announced it.

Charles III has the advantage of being a non-smoker who isn't overweight and exercises a lot, unlike some of his predecessors.
