Meanwhile, the royal family continues to rally around King Charles after news of his cancer diagnosis was revealed in early February.
It has not been confirmed what type of cancer the king was diagnosed with or what stage it is in, but it is believed that it was not prostate cancer and that it was detected at an early stage.
Charles, 75, was hospitalized for surgery for enlarged prostate when doctors noticed something unusual and began further tests.
Buckingham Palace reported that the king had since been diagnosed with cancer, only to clarify that it was not prostate cancer.
Palace officials said the individuals were regularly “receiving specialist care” in an outpatient setting, but they did not specify what that meant.
As a prince, Prince Charles clashed with medical experts in 2004 when he publicly supported the idea that cancer patients could be treated with vitamin injections and fruit juice.
For now, the palace has confirmed that the king will not take part in most official duties, leaving a skeleton staff of younger royals to take over.
It is unclear how long King Charles will be forced to suspend public duties, but it is believed that he will continue to work as much as possible.
The King will continue to handle the Red Box of state affairs and official documents, as well as holding meetings of the Privy Council (which can be held by video) and weekly audiences with the Prime Minister (which can be held by phone).
The palace has asked that the king’s privacy be respected, especially during his treatment, but said he wanted to make his diagnosis public because he has long supported cancer charities.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “Additional concerns were raised during the King’s recent hospital surgery for an enlarged prostate.” Subsequent diagnostic tests identified a type of cancer. ”
