Britain’s King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer, according to a statement from Buckingham Palace.

“His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer,” the statement concluded.
