The revelation comes in the wake of the King of England's recent surgery for a 'benign' prostate ailment.
Confirming the distressing news, the Palace acknowledges that King Charles is currently undergoing treatment for cancer.
In the interim period of the King's absence from official duties, Queen Camilla will step into the spotlight, representing the royal family at public engagements.
Insiders reveal that the King will promptly commence his treatment, although an official date for his return remains unconfirmed.
Palace authorities emphasize the King's anticipation of returning to his duties at the earliest opportunity, ensuring the continuity of receiving his government Red Boxes throughout his treatment. There are no considerations to appoint Counsellors of State to assume the monarch's official responsibilities.
Just last month, the Monarch received a diagnosis of an enlarged prostate, leading to a three-day hospitalization for the benign condition. It was during this medical intervention that a separate health issue was identified, later diagnosed as a form of cancer.
