King Charles has expressed deep gratitude for the public's support following his cancer diagnosis.
The 75-year-old King acknowledged the comfort that such kindness provides to those affected by cancer.
Buckingham Palace released news of his condition, confirming that the cancer is not related to his prostate, despite treatment for an enlarged prostate in January. The specific type of cancer has not been made public.
The King reflected on the positive impact of sharing his diagnosis, highlighting the increased awareness and appreciation for organizations aiding cancer patients and their loved ones.
Presently, King Charles has paused his public responsibilities to focus on his treatment, with senior royals like Queen Camilla and Prince of Wales temporarily assuming his roles.

Prince William also expressed thanks for the support directed toward both his father and his wife, the Princess of Wales, who is recuperating from an abdominal surgery and is not expected to resume duties until post-Easter.
