william would become king. no harry would not become king.d not become prince of wales. he would remain duke of sussex. become prince of wales. he would remain duke of sussex . a prince remain duke of sussex. a prince george would become duke of cornwall and could be created prince of wales by the king as the current prince of wales was created. but that requires something to be done. an act of decision of the sovereign, whereas the duchy of cornwall goes automatically to the heir presumptive , um camilla the presumptive, um camilla the queen. camilla would not forfeit anything like the queen mother, queen elizabeth the queen mother, the queen's mother. she would remain known as queen mother. she would be go back to being called queen. queen camilla. um. and ian says jacob, what is the difference between cancer and what the palace describes as a form of cancer? uh, well , i describes as a form of cancer? uh, well, i don't describes as a form of cancer? uh, well , i don't know. describes as a form of cancer? uh, well, i don't know. um, but if

his majesty the king. king charles the third has been diagnosed , we're told, with been diagnosed, we're told, with a form of cancer where the diagnosis comes following successful treatment for an enlarged prostate during which a separate issue of concern was noted by his surgeon as well. as you can imagine , many have been you can imagine, many have been wishing the king well online. the prime minister has wished his majesty a full and speedy recovery, and said he'll no doubt be back to full strength in no time and the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has said on behalf of his party i wish his majesty all the very best for his recovery. the king is due to step back from his role as monarch as he begins a schedule of treatment , although schedule of treatment, although we understand he will continue to undertake official paperwork , to undertake official paperwork, his doctors have advised him to cancel public facing duties and the king has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation, hoping at th

king.elsh first minister said i'm saddened to hear the news that king charles iii is facing further health challenges. my thought to them and people across wales will be with him and his family. i send my best wishes as he begins treatment for a full and swift recovery. in the past few minutes, the scottish first minister has been giving his reaction to the kings cancer diagnosis. >> my thoughts and my prayers to his majesty the king, wish him well for a full recovery and the return back to public life. let me also send my very best wishes and thoughts with her majesty the queen and all members of the royal family who will be deeply worried at this time. i don't think it matters if you are a member of the royal family or not. if a family member has cancer, that will always be extremely worrying indeed. i want to send my very best wishes not just on behalf of myself personally, government, but on behalf of the entire nation. christian: scottish first minister hums a use of giving us his reac

enormous care has been taken to say that the king is not being king any more.rms of his state functions. yes. some public facing events will will go, but actually he will do his red boxes. he will have his weekly meeting with the prime minister. he will attend or at least be in attendance at privy council meetings and so on. and i think you can tell in the way that this announcement has been made, the care that has gone into the statement, the the information that's been given to the media, some of it we were unable to report until 6:00 this evening. it was all embargoed, but a real sense that there's been a lot of planning. now, of course, there is a whole system of protocols designed to make sure that the the british state doesn't miss a beat when the head of it has to step back, as indeed has happened on this occasion. so we will know that probably a few days ago, as soon as the the king was aware of this diagnosis, his private secretary will have been in touch with the prime minister's private secretary and the cabinet secretary, the so—called golden triang

but the options for the king, particularly if you are a king, the best of care. prognosis as long as the cancer was caught early, maybe stage 1, early stage 2, should be very good, should they not? >> two things, john. because he's the king, he gets a hyper surveillance, whatever this is, you are going to finds it's probably a degree of surveillance that might not have commonly been done to someone else. and number two, the treatment is going to be obviously state of the art and you mentioned lymphoma. i wish that your brother had actually gotten it in 2002 when they started regularly using something called retuximob, a directed antibody treatment you add to the chemotherapy, it gives you a super response. we have gotten into the age of targeted therapies, personalized medicine, immunotherapies, genetic driven therapies, and just starting now. you add to that artificial intelligence which is going to make diagnosis even earlier than before. >> sandra: obviously this is the evening hours, 6:17 p.m., a live look outside buckingham palace. the royal family has had a

now that he has become king.a fan of the royalfamily, so queen camilla as well, very much a fan of the royal family, so when you tell people like that the king has cancer, it comes as quite a shock. people didn't expect it, they haven't been following the news so when we tell people, it is a genuine shock. we had a group of men from india, also on holiday, and they also were shocked. people, whenever you tell them the word cancer, it comes as a bit of a shock to them. when you meant —— mention king charles in the same sentence, it is doubly shocking to them. genuinely the feeling that this is one of those moments that they will remember, the day when it was announced that king charles has cancer but the overwhelming feeling one of shock and also determined to pass on their best wishes and hoping he comes through this. yes. pass on their best wishes and hoping he comes through this. yes, windsor a town with — he comes through this. yes, windsor a town with a — he comes through this. yes, windsor a town with a very

and the king wanted to the king and the king wanted to say that .to try and to say that. so to try and prevent speculation, of course, it was the enlarged prostate treatment he received . we were treatment he received. we were told at the time that the palace said that it was benign, that is still the case. it was a separate issue, um, when they were treating his majesty that they have now diagnosed and are now treating. so just to recap, the king is in london this evening. it's thought he is spending the night at clarence house and he's being treated as an outpatient rather than an inpatient. so he's not going to be spending at this stage any more but he more nights in hospital. but he will travelling to and from will be travelling to and from hospital for cancer treatments, but will return home, presumably to clarence house, following that treatment. so just to recap news, just in prince harry, duke of sussex is returning to the uk to see his father in the next few days and cameron walken, thank you very much for that update. >> now i'm joined by

but the king would allow no hint of this to mar the proceedings. the king rested, but not for long. he returned to his duties. by now, the people were aware that the king was seriously ill. "the nearer one stood to him, the more it was apparent," said the prime minister. he was sustained not only by his natural buoyancy, but by the sincerity of his christian faith. well, i'm pleased to say that one of the many viewers who wrote in to complain about the coverage of king charles's cancer diagnosis is able to join us on the line now. she's angela emmus from hampshire. angela, thank you so much for coming on newswatch. can you tell me what were your concerns about the coverage of the king's diagnosis on monday's news at six? well, i felt that the whole programme devoted to this news item was really out of all proportion. and i think the palace statement should have been sufficient to convey his condition. and they did emphasise that this cancer had been caught early and really it should have been left at that. maybe just the odd reference to his forebear, but it really was too much. fro

in london right now with the news from the palace that the king of england, or the king of united kingdom, king charles iii has been diagnosed with some kind of cancer. they are not saying what kind. he just left the hospital several days ago after being treated for what they call a benign prostate enlargement, during which time they noticed a separate issue of concern. max foster, i will ask you to stand by and we will get back to you when there's more news. in the meantime i will toss it over to boris. >> we are joined to discuss with our senior royal historian kate williams. i want to get your reaction to the news. cancer diagnosis for king charles. >> it is very worrying. many people suffer from cancer in the world, but it is a worrying and scary diagnosis to receive and i am sure people are wishing the king well at the moment. this is really a very different way of dealing with health what we saw with the queen. we were told the queen was having a few test and going into the hospital. in the case of charles we were told he was going in for a large prostate minor surgery, and now we a

had cancer and people but the fact we are being told the king has cancer two generations ago, the kingancer and people were not told. i believe the king himself had not been told by his doctors. so it's quite a change in two generations. so they are being transparent about one aspect, in the other, they are respecting the king's privacy, it would seem. which is a tricky position when you are talking about a head of state. to tell people it's cancer, but not to tell people what the prognosis is, what stage it is, those things could be really reassuring to people, to know this is something he could fight or perhaps not something expected to keep him out of the public eye for long. he is stepping back from public commitments, carrying out private duties only. it is expected prince william would have to step up and other members of the family. what do you think we are going to see there? that is one of their challenges right now. most of the working members of the royal family are in their 50s or older. the royal with the most public engagements last year the royal with the most public eng

do you have a message for king charles? yes.im, just heard his diagnosis, i probably talk to him, god willing. - and what's next on the order bill? hopefully passes in the senate. how? with enough votes. david, tell us how the king is perceived in america. well, he is perceived, i think, with great affection. not quite the affection that his mother, of course, was held in, the esteem his mother was held in. it's worth pointing out as well thatjoe biden after that doorstep went on to issue a statement on the social media platform formerly known as twitter, now called x. he said navigating a cancer diagnosis, treatment and survivorship takes hope and absolute courage. jill and ijoined the people of the united kingdom praying that his majesty experience as a swift and full recovery. we've also had reaction from the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, who sent his well wishes to the king, saying that canadians across the country were thinking of him, sending him very best wishes and hoping for a fast and full recovery. but in a

let's not forget, king charles, while he has only been king since his mother passed away in 2022, heglobalfigure on the world stage for decades. so, people across the world will be following this story with a huge amount of interest. sarah campbell. here are the front pages and how would be covered tomorrow. the king being diagnosed with cancer has filled the front pages of tomorrow's newspapers. "king has cancer" is the headline in the metro. the paper says the royal health shock came as surgeons discovered it during his surgery for an enlarged prostate. it reports that palace officials have confirmed that it is not prostate cancer. and it says that prince harry will be flying in to see his father. "stepping back" notes the ft. the paper reports how the monarch will refrain from public—facing duties while receiving treatment, but would continue to undertake state business and official paper "as usual", according to the palace. the guardian details comments from buckingham palace that the king "remains wholly positive" about his treatment. and that he personally informed both of his

the king's cancer diagnosis. there's been a global response to the cancer diagnosis across the commonwealth and from us presidentjoe biden. one year after turkey's deadliest earthquake that killed more than 53,000 people, aid agencies say substantial rebuilding still needs to be done. hello, i'm sally bundock. king charles has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing treatment. buckingham palace made the announcement yesterday evening. they've said it's not prostate cancer, but was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate. he'll be taking a step back from his public duties, as our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. this was the last time we saw the king in public — on sunday, going to church with queen camilla on the sandringham estate in norfolk. just 17 months into his reign, he now faces a serious health challenge. just over a week ago, the king left this private hospital in central london, where he'd spent three nights being treated for an enlarged prostate. we now know, dur

certainly kind of we see the king and we see pictures of the king a lot spending time outdoors. the royal family, we know, spends time out in the countryside, out in scotland, of course. outdoor activities are a serious part of king charles' daily life. whatever this is, it will be very interesting if buckingham pal mras and if king charles wants to share those details with the public. what we do know is he started treatment today. clearly they felt comfortable sharing that. where he is undergoing that treatment we don't know. of course, we mow the royal residences can be ramped up, can be equipped with medical staff. they were both in -- both the princess of wales and king charles were in the london clinic, one of the best surgical hospitals here in london. we don't know if he's undergoing those treatments in a clinic, in a hospital or somewhere more private, chris. >> has there been any mention -- again, i was handed this statement which is from the royal communications office of buckingham palace, that there will be any updates, anything else forthcoming, any briefing in pers

king charles is 75. despite his age, he is quite active, a workaholic king, a reformer king. so on... they call charles, and it would seem that such sensitive issues as the state of the monarch's health should remain a secret, but no, charles himself decided to tell about his illness publicly, because on the one hand it is a cautious openness, as if opening the doors of the palace, and on the other hand, the king is urging people to pay more attention to their health and get examined. royal correspondent daniela relf reports. this is the last time. when the king was seen in public, he went to church on sunday with queen camilla at sandrigham manor in norfolk. after only 17 months of his reign, he had serious health problems. just over a week ago, the king left a private hospital in central london where he spent three nights being treated for an enlarged prostate. now we know that he was diagnosed with cancer while he was here. this is stated in buckingham's statement. the palace during the recent operation of the king in the hospital in connection with a benign enlargement of
