mark easton at buckingham palace. if you are just mark easton at buckingham palace.ustjoining us e let me just bring you up—to—date because that statement came through from buckingham palace, only in the last few minutes, and it is significant news, that the palace has told us about tonight, the king has been diagnosed with a form of cancer. that is the wording that has been used on the statement, and we do know his treatment has already begun, it is a form of cancer, and an schedule of regular treatments has begun, that is what the palace is saying tonight, and he has been advised by his doctors to postpone any public facing duties. just as mark was reflecting, we are told that statement business, official paperwork will still be done by the king, he is expecting to carry out those sort of duties as usual but it is those public facing duties that he is stepping back from for now, and as you would appreciate, we simply don't know how long that will be the case for, but he will be stepping back, and some other senior members of the royal family will be carrying out so

he had the surgery and buckingham palace, they were operating on him and buckingham palace. it was so secret. we see a completely different way of dealing with health with the royals. we were told kate was going to the hospital and would be there for some time and the king would be going to the same hospital and we were told he was stay one more night. he said clearly he wanted to raise awareness of prostate cancer, he wants to raise awareness of the enlarged prostate and that condition. now i think, we might be told at some point, what kind of cancer he is suffering from. i think for the same reason he will want other people to get checked, people to talk about it and raise awareness. >> the effort to raise awareness was successful. there are details from nhs that they received 11 times more visits after buckingham palace announced that he was receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate. let's get medical perspective, dr. jonathan reiner. this news coming after the king went through this procedure to examine his enlarged prostate. this raised a separate issue of concern, a

king charles ii has been diagnosed with cancer, buckingham palace announced. what this means, how the monarch's illness will affect great britain. we talk about it in today's issue of bbc ukraine. i am olga palamaryuk. buckingham palace did not release many details about the king's illness, but overall this statement about his health was unprecedented. king charles ii will retire from public events, but will not stop ruling the country. the last month has been a rough one for the kings. families first three weeks ago there was a message that the princess of wales kate underwent a rather serious operation on the abdominal cavity. however, as soon as the television cameras reached her hospital in london, it was revealed that the king was also due for surgery due to an enlarged prostate. and the day before , buckingham palace officially announced that the king was diagnosed with oncology. however, all the questions that are usually asked in such cases are where, what stage, what type. what remains unanswered at the moment, it is known that it is not prostate canc

we are left to do at this moment with the limited information that we have been getting from buckingham palacem the palace said this cancer was discovered as a result of the king's recent treatment for his prostate enlargement, which would be suggested this might be a situation like we saw with ruth bader ginsburg where she went into the hospital for one concern and then when they did a ct scan they discovered she had very, very early stage pancreatic cancer and as a result they were able to treat it very effectively and she lived at least a decade with pancreatic cancer, which these days it's a very rare thing. so, could it be here, nile, that we have learned the king had very early stage cancer of some type that may be highly treatable? >> it's quite possible and i think that that's certainly the hope right now in london it's a treatable form of cancer, and i think that, you know, just the fact that doctors may have caught this very early is a very, very positive sign, i think, so at the moment there is a lot of hope in london, hoping for the very best for the king. >> sandra: and as we just

in a statement, buckingham palace said...ring the king's recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer. he remains wholly positive about his treatment, and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible." although open about his diagnosis, the type of cancer the king has will be kept private — as will the nature of his treatment. all of his public engagements have been cancelled. his son, the duke of sussex, is expected to visit him this week — travelling to the uk from his home in california to see his father, who contacted prince harry personally with news of the diagnosis. it is the first time harry has seen the king since the coronation. in times of crisis, families do come together, and i think everyone will be happy to see that. ithink, you know, there is a sort of sense of business as usual going on — that's very much a message that sort of the palace is trying to put out. but if, along t

the royal standard is flying above buckingham palace . he was buckingham palace.e was treated for an enlarged prostate at the london clinic and the london clinic, alongside king edward. the seventh hospital are two private hospitals here in central london, which are frequently used by the royal family for medical issues. buckingham palace has also um released an unpublished picture . released an unpublished picture. i don't know if we can bring it to you, um of the king. it was taken by samir hussein. um, at the british ambassador's residence during the state visit to france. back in september 2023, and it it's understood that it has no greater significance than being a recent unseen portrait . they've just unseen portrait. they've just decided to release it because, of course, we haven't seen this photograph, uh, before. before. and it perhaps harks back to a happier time. the state visit to france was seen widely seen as an incredibly successful tour, and it showed king charles as a is a really strong international british diplomat exercising his powers of soft
