LONDON – King Charles III has given his “heartfelt thanks” for messages of support from the public, in his first statement since being diagnosed with cancer, CNN reported.
The 75-year-old monarch said: “As all those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement.”
News of the diagnosis was announced by Buckingham Palace on Monday.
The King is being treated for an unspecified form of cancer and is currently staying at Sandringham.
His cancer was detected while he was undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate in January. While the type of cancer has not been disclosed, the Palace confirmed it was not prostate cancer.
