King Charles III has been undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, Buckingham Palace confirmed. The type of cancer has not been revealed but it is not prostate cancer. It was discovered during treatment for an enlarged prostate.
The 75-year-old monarch began regular treatments recently and has temporarily paused some public duties. Despite this, he continues his constitutional role as head of state, including meetings and official paperwork. His weekly audiences with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will continue unless doctors advise otherwise.
The palace emphasized that King Charles remains positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duties soon. A brief hospital visit on March 27, 2025, caused minor concern due to temporary side effects, but he was released the same day. Sources called it a “minor bump in the road.”
King Charles has personally informed both his sons about his diagnosis. Prince William maintains regular contact, while Prince Harry, living in the United States, plans to travel to the UK to visit his father. This reunion comes after months of limited contact between the King and his younger son, highlighting a deeply personal moment for the UK Royal Family.
Since resuming public engagements in April 2024, King Charles has kept a busy schedule. He visited Midland Metropolitan University Hospital in early September 2025, telling a patient, βIβm not too bad,β and spoke about the importance of early detection. His ongoing public appearances indicate that his condition is being managed carefully.
While Buckingham Palace has not shared specifics on the cancer stage or long-term prognosis, Sky News reports that the treatment is progressing and moving in a positive direction. The Kingβs resilience and commitment to duty underscore his dedication to his role as monarch, even during challenging times.
This health update serves as a reminder of both the personal and public challenges faced by King Charles, and it has captured significant attention in the United Kingdom and beyond.
