Although the exact nature or stage of the cancer has not been disclosed, authorities clarified that it does not relate to prostate cancer per ABC News. Sunak reassured the public that King Charles intends to fulfill his constitutional duties, despite suspending public engagements temporarily. The King's diagnosis also led to the visit from his estranged son, Prince Harry from California, who had previously relieved himself from the royal duties to settle in America with his family. The relationship between father and son has faced challenges, with Harry's decision to step back from royal duties in 2020 and relocate to Los Angeles with his wife, Meghan Markle, citing media intrusion and racism as reasons for their departure.

Despite suspending official engagements, he will continue with state business and maintain his office and private duties. While the possibility of delegating state responsibilities to advisors has been discussed, no formal arrangements have been made. Charles's wife, Camilla, his eldest son, Prince William, and his siblings Anne and Edward are among those considered for such roles. However, Prince Andrew, who has retired from public functions, and his son Harry, who has distanced himself from the monarchy, are not under consideration for these positions.



 

Charles's diagnosis was discovered during an operation for a benign prostate enlargement in late January, shortly before his discharge from the hospital. Following his return from his country residence in Sandringham to begin cancer treatment in London, he remains focused on his health and recovery. Amidst the king's journey through treatment, the overwhelming support from both political figures and the general public underscores the unity of the nation during this testing period. Prime Minister Sunak echoed messages of optimism and strength, highlighting the significance of standing by Charles and his family as they navigate through his recovery process. With the king's determination and the collective well-wishes of the nation, there is optimism that Charles III will overcome this health challenge and return to his duties with renewed strength and vigor.



 

Following his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate, King Charles III made a public appearance alongside Queen Camilla at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, Norfolk. This marked their first attendance at Sunday services near their Norfolk residence since the recovery from the surgery. During the visit, they were photographed with Rev. Canon Dr. Paul Williams, the Rector of Sandringham. Acknowledging the supportive messages received during his hospitalization, King Charles III expressed his gratitude via the royal family's official Instagram page. Since the announcement, there has been a notable uptick in visits to the NHS England webpage for enlarged prostate.
