The King "remains wholly positive about his treatment" which began on Monday, says Buckingham Palace.

King Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer, says Buckingham Palace.

The type of cancer has not been revealed - it is not prostate cancer, but was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate. The King began “regular treatments” on Monday and will postpone public duties during the treatment, the Palace said.

The King, 75, “remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible,” it added. No further details are being shared on the stage of cancer or a prognosis.

…

Although he will pause his public events, the King will continue with his constitutional role as head of state, including paperwork and private meetings.

    Oh hey! It’s that thing that the British anti-monarchs said would exactly happen and how blowing millions of pounds on a creepy old fuck just so that he can have his name in the history books probably wasn’t the best way to spend the money!

    Get fucked Charlie. You and your family are a skid mark in the history books.

    No lords. No masters. No fucking monarchy.

        I’m sure the next one will be happy to sit in front of their golden fireplace and tell you how spending your money wisely will help you pay for groceries and housing.

        You need to add a triple backslash, because two underscores count as cursive

        The first backslash cancels out the first underscore. The second backslash cancels out the first backslash, “re-enabling” the first underscore. The third backslash then cancels the underscore out again.

        • ¯\_(ツ)_/¯... : ¯_(ツ)_/¯
        • ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯.. : ¯\(ツ)/¯
        • ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ : ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        (Dots for alignment. The fourth backslash in the last shrug makes sure no other cursive oddities happen if you use another underscore anywhere else in your post)

      A bit of a silly take. It’s not like they can’t or aren’t making articles about both.

    All the world’s wealth and power will do nothing to stop a few determined mutated cells from multiplying ad infinitum. They may be “above” us in almost all ways that matter, but you can’t bribe your own cells. Of course he’ll get the very best possible care in the world, including whatever might be experimental right now, and yet - I’m sure he feels death’s cold hand on his shoulder. Too bad death isn’t a peasant you can shoo away like you’re used to…

      They’re not. They’re royals. They want to be above us in anything else, they can be below us for this one.
