The palace added: “He remains fully positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full official duties as soon as possible.”
The king is expected to continue receiving “red boxes” from the government containing documents he needs to see. The prime minister is not expected to appoint a “counsel of state” or another senior member of the royal family to whom he can delegate duties. It is unclear whether he will continue to hold regular meetings by video call with the Prime Minister, as the Queen has done during the pandemic.

The royal family was already short-staffed, with Duchess Kate recovering from abdominal surgery and Prince William, heir to the throne, taking a step back from royal duties to care for his wife and children. Prince William is expected to return to public life later this week. A palace spokeswoman said Queen Camilla would continue her “full program” of royal duties.
A source from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's office said Prince Harry had spoken to the monarch about his cancer diagnosis and was scheduled to fly to the UK to meet his father in the coming days.
My wishes overflowed. Scotland's leader, First Minister Humza Yousaf, said he wished the king a “speedy recovery” and added that his thoughts were with the royal family “at what we know will be a worrying time”.
Charles and Camilla were photographed arriving together for a service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham on Sunday. Buckingham Palace said in a statement that he would return to his London home, Clarence House, on Monday morning and “begin outpatient treatment.”
The palace traditionally remains tight-lipped about the monarch's health. But a spokesman said the king wanted to make his diagnosis public “to prevent speculation and in the hope that it will help the public understand people around the world who suffer from cancer.” Ta.
The palace said that as Prince Charles, he was a patron of cancer-related charities and “frequently speaks publicly in support of cancer patients, their loved ones, and the amazing medical professionals who help care for them.” I have done so,” he said.
The palace's statement to the public and media did not include the specifics of an announcement made several weeks ago that Prince Charles would undergo “corrective surgery” for an enlarged prostate. At the time, the statement included a link to the UK's National Health Service, which explained that the condition can affect a man's ability to urinate and is more common in men over the age of 50.
When asked last week how her husband is recovering, Camila replied, “He's doing well and doing his best.”
In a statement about his cancer treatment on Monday, the palace said Prince Charles was “grateful for the swift intervention of his medical team, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure.”
Members of the British royal family these days enjoy amazing longevity. Prince Charles' grandmother, the Queen Mother, lived to be 101 years old. Her father, Prince Philip, died at the age of 99, but her official cause of death was “old age.” Her mother, Queen Elizabeth, lived to be 96 years old. “Old age'' was also cited as a cause.
Before Elizabeth's death, the palace only noted that she suffered from “mobility” issues to explain her use of a cane and reduced schedule.
Her father, Charles's grandfather, King George VI, died at the relatively young age of 56 in 1952 after failing to recover from a lung operation.
Charles spent over 70 years as heir presumptive. At the age of 73 he became the oldest person to sit on the British throne. During that long wait, he led an active life. He was a competitive polo player until his 57th year. He is an energetic walker and an organic gardener who likes to trim his own hedges.
Charles believes that homeopathy and herbal remedies can play a supporting role alongside modern medicine.
He is also known for his penchant for whiskey and fine wine. He told a group of nurses that he was not much of a smoker. He mostly avoids meat, enjoys fish, and eats a vegetarian diet one day a week. For breakfast, he eats a bowl of muesli with fruit, “often lightly boiled plums from his garden,” according to Town and Country magazine.
correction
An earlier version of this article showed a headline in a web search that inaccurately claimed King Charles had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. This mistake was repeated in the wording of this article's original URL. In fact, another problem was discovered during the King's recent prostate surgery and he was subsequently diagnosed with cancer. The article has been corrected.
