London, (PTI) British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Tuesday that he was “shocked and sad” to learn that King Charles III has cancer but relieved that the illness was “caught early”.
Buckingham Palace announced on Monday evening that the King has begun outpatient treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer. It was found during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate but is not connected to that condition, the palace said.
“Thankfully, this has been caught early,” Sunak told the BBC, saying he would “continue to communicate with him as normal” – indicating his customary weekly audiences with the King will continue during the treatment.
