Brave Queen Camilla to support King Charles with 'full programme of public duties' during cancer battle

Cameron Walker, GB News's Royal Correspondent said: "The Queen is preparing to support her husband The King, and she's going to continue with a full programme of public duties."

Tonight, Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles, 75, has been diagnosed with a form of cancer.

Their statement read: "During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted.

"Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.

"His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.

"Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.

"The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure.

"He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.

"His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer."

Prince Harry, 39, is also expected to return to the UK in the coming days after being personally notified by his father about his latest health battle.
