and just on a very personal level, we've had people in windsor, a mixture of tourists and local people giving their reactions too and you can sum up the word with one word, shock. we been reviewing the news to those who have been tourists and flown in from india and they said they were shocked to hear the news expected to couples from glasgow in windsor to see sites, the castle behind me and all four of them gasped when we told them the news and they were deeply shocked by the news and another person from singapore said he wished the king well and he hadn't heard the news and toured of the news and said he felt sorry for king charles and wished him well in the future and the combination of reactions here is always the same when you mention the

word cancer, people take it in this way and people tend to be shocked by it in the reaction here windsor and a contrast with the tone of the buckingham palace statement that was released over an hour ago when they spoke of king charles being totally positive about what was going on and looking forward to returning to full public duties as soon as possible in contrast wills being issued here and working on the streets of windsor here tonight and also here windsor tonight at the prince and princess of wales and adelaide cottage which is on the grounds of windsor castle and almost certainly no doubt that if keeping the fully informed of what is going on with king charles and princess of wales recruit that recovering from her surgery that took place in the same hospital for

charles got his prostate diagnosis last week and wanted two people have asked us why buckingham palace have not told us what type of cancer the king has, given the last week, they're given more information about why he was in hospital and we were not able to answer that in buckingham palace almost certainly not going to entertain any kind of speculation on that and will not be giving a running commentary on these things and for now, we remain unenlightened about what type of cancer it is as far as the public is concerned, the degree of shock coming from political leaders around the world tonight.— the world tonight. visiting windsor, and sometimes _ the world tonight. visiting windsor, and sometimes we _ the world tonight. visiting windsor, and sometimes we get _ the world tonight. visiting windsor, and sometimes we get there - the world tonight. visiting windsor, and sometimes we get there first i and sometimes we get there first central focal point and sometimes we get there first centralfocal point in and sometimes we get there first central focal point in the palace and a distinct connection between the community in windsor and the royalfamily but around the community in windsor and the royal family but around the country, if anyone's feeling this it will be

all things royal when you speak to them like we have this evening revealed this news to them, you understand why they react like that not least because the king has been imposed since the coronation for nine months, the anticipated like his mother that he will be around for many years one of them i spoke to hopes he will be around for many years to come in especially with our knowledge of what this cancer is the moment. people really feel it here lots of gift shops and souvenirs and it is a very royal town itself and why people come here and when people feel this news and in windsor, they drop people here and people to get taken aback by one or two of them and what three men of the age 15 to vicious with prostate and other

statistics caught the window those people just remain taken aback and expressed sympathies and one or two of them really hope that the king gets well very quickly and no details about that from buckingham palace and the treatment started today. we palace and the treatment started toda . ~ , ., ~ palace and the treatment started toda . ~ , ., ,, today. we wish them well. thank you ve much today. we wish them well. thank you very much in — today. we wish them well. thank you very much in the _ today. we wish them well. thank you very much in the spring _ today. we wish them well. thank you very much in the spring in _ today. we wish them well. thank you very much in the spring in the - today. we wish them well. thank you very much in the spring in the royal i very much in the spring in the royal commentator, caroline, these royal duties, has there been a marked increase the number of duties the king has been covering over these past 17 months and as he had a busier workload as of late that could've impacted his health? left me uuite could've impacted his health? left me quite breathless is been a great carrier of his mothers ideas and asked to be to be believed is been out there showing himself to his people editing that is what he was

doing on the trip and the optics of that among his people, going to church, smiling and thought quite well and shocking news, very busy man and we cannot forget is going to be 76 and quite a big proportion of them and over 75 and we talk about cancer in a chapel of cancer is it is a terrifying word and very different diseases that come under that heading of form of cancer and type of cancer and nonspecific in my heart goes out to the queen and her husband and all of those people throughout this country who today will also have had this diagnosis,

beyond the shores, messages coming in throughout the world we are blessed to be of such superb cancer treatment available and are sure rejoin and wishing the royal family and the king and his wife the very best going forward it will be a grueling time and i'm sure with great courage. in grueling time and i'm sure with great courage-— great courage. in terms of his character. _ great courage. in terms of his character, he _ great courage. in terms of his character, he has _ great courage. in terms of his character, he has been - great courage. in terms of his character, he has been a - great courage. in terms of his character, he has been a very| great courage. in terms of his - character, he has been a very fast man has been the odd bump and scrape along the way and they said at times, he can be brooding and i wonder as he asked in some of these to him, how he might in private, deal with the shocking news that he has been given. home deal with the shocking news that he has been given.— deal with the shocking news that he has been given. how would any of us deal with that, _ has been given. how would any of us deal with that, he _ has been given. how would any of us deal with that, he is _ has been given. how would any of us deal with that, he is a _ has been given. how would any of us deal with that, he is a deep - has been given. how would any of us deal with that, he is a deep thinker l deal with that, he is a deep thinker and he loves the works and is a spiritual man and he has great concerns about the great concerns in

the world. so deep inside and that he will be fighting the battle but all of those people, given this diagnosis have to fight. the first responses shock and i'm sure she will feel relief of the procedure that was something benign and something far more threatening as been discovered in their patches of light in the here and other commentators except the fact that his son is going to come and see him and quite a big olive branch under recent circumstances and so, in this difficulty and fear, there is moments in life but the king will know exactly what is going to face will of god through treatment plan and i'm sure with this attitude to going forward in carrying on, he will face up to this and come out

well. . ., ., ., , well. he will continue to do his boxes in the — well. he will continue to do his boxes in the matters _ well. he will continue to do his boxes in the matters of - well. he will continue to do his boxes in the matters of state l well. he will continue to do his - boxes in the matters of state which was signed and read and get involved with day—to—day is something that is done out of sight and out of mind and quite separate to his public roles and how much they does that take up stops or takes as long as the amount of material in the boxes and turning up the red boxes and the history of the monarchy and the queen was most diligent in this in looking at the situation, the history of the royal family in illness another go forward, what struck me about this is the openness of this and several other commentators of- of this and several other commentators o’ u, ., commentators of said, we can all remember _ commentators of said, we can all remember a _ commentators of said, we can all remember a short _ commentators of said, we can all remember a short flickering - commentators of said, we can all. remember a short flickering footage of statements posted on the gates of buckingham palace and nothing with the monarch undergoing a certain

procedure were not too well. and i'm sure this'll be an inspiration to people and i'm sure, he is able to do physically and it is early days. the start and his way of doing his work and the way work is presented to him in his futurejobs will be maintained by his level and i will say this, to me, but of the outstanding memories of this back in the may step moment and screams around him and he knelt there and he looked so vulnerable older man as many have said, he wants the record for the longest ever wait to be monarch and his big shoes to fill but he is a man of courage, strength

and a man who is aware that people will worry about it and he has done his best so far to allay fear and worry can see i'm going to go forward and buckingham palace, i will be there and i will carry it on forward and i will be your king. i5 forward and i will be your king. is good to get your thoughts and thank you very much for being with us and looking at some of the reaction coming in from around the world. commonwealth countries are the king is head of state and justin trudeau knows the king very well and canadians across the world and people are thinking of his majesty as the undergoes treatment for cancer and very best wishes in opening for a full recovery and

doctorj, president of the sector and society of medicine wishing them and society of medicine wishing them a speedy recovery and for using his unique position and highlighting how cancers and should be no shame or shame or embarrassment are coming out and seeking help and lots of people in the medical profession and charities sing similar things. and charities sing similar things. and then do not _ charities sing similar things. and then do not often talk about their illnesses and cancers not a feeling what they're going through and the fact that the king is leading by example is quite important. talking to the amount _ example is quite important. talking to the amount of _ example is quite important. talking to the amount of men _ example is quite important. talking to the amount of men is _ example is quite important. talking to the amount of men is that - example is quite important. talking to the amount of men is that the i to the amount of men is that the prostates check, to get them tested and very well aware of the difference that is made and undoubtedly.— difference that is made and undoubtedly. difference that is made and undoubtedl. , , , , difference that is made and undoubtedl. , , , ., undoubtedly. they picked this up to the course of _ undoubtedly. they picked this up to the course of this _ undoubtedly. they picked this up to the course of this and _ undoubtedly. they picked this up to the course of this and it _ undoubtedly. they picked this up to the course of this and it was - the course of this and it was benign, the treatment he had for

to really make something of his kingship, it is very hard luck you might say and so early in his reign, he is being forced to touch back but who knows, looking on the bright side, it does now seem as if prince harry is coming to visit and it might have taken something cataclysmic to bring about reconciliation and this may be it. in the reign of king charles and the start to be determined and slightly remodeled the monarchy as i had to be done for the 21st—century and now, if you like, there's almost a crash course in different ways and doing things in the family stepping
