King Charles' cancer was 'caught early'; Prince Harry flies home
King Charles III’s cancer was “caught early,” British prime minister Rishi Sunak said Tuesday, as Prince Harry flew home to see him and Prince William prepared to take on some public duties.
LONDON — King Charles III’s cancer was “caught early,” Britain's prime minister said Tuesday, a day after the revelation of the 75-year-old monarch’s diagnosis.
Rishi Sunak’s comments offered the British public new details about the condition, as Prince Harry headed home to see his father and Prince William, the heir to the throne, prepared to step up and take on some of the king's public duties.
Charles spent the night at home after beginning his treatment, which left the royal family facing a new health crisis just 18 months after he assumed the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Buckingham Palace announced in a statement Monday that a “form of cancer” was detected while the king was having a hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement.
The palace did not specify what type of cancer Charles was diagnosed with or what stage it was at. It said Charles did not have prostate cancer.
