King Charles III was diagnosed with a form of cancer and is undergoing treatment, Buckingham Palace announced Monday.
“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement. “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”
A source confirmed to Fox News Digital that Prince Harry and King Charles spoke about his diagnosis before His Majesty went public with his health concerns.
“The Duke did speak with his father about his diagnosis,” a source confirmed to Fox News Digital. In addition, Harry “will be traveling to UK to see His Majesty” in the coming days.
