Buckingham Palace announced in February that the King has a form of cancer

A royal commentator has revealed that the King may reveal what type of cancer he has after Buckingham Palace announced that he would be returning to duties today.

In a new statement from Buckingham Palace, the King, 75, is confirmed to be returning to royal duties after being diagnosed with a form of cancer two months ago.

So far the monarch has kept his type of cancer private as he recovers, but he did reveal it was discovered after he underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate.

Speaking to GB News, Cole said: "Of course, he's the head of state. He's a person, a public personality and a world figure, but he's entitled to his privacy.

"The way that he wants to announce it, is the way that it should be announced. And I'm sure in due course, as he feels comfortable with it and as the treatment progresses, and it sounds as if it's progressing well, I'm sure he will take that in advisement.

"I mean he was surprised by the terrific reaction when he had made this announcement of cancer, how it stimulated the interest in the various cancer charities and got people checking themselves up.

"All of this is a very good thing. It's what a leader of a country should do, and he's doing it supremely well."
