LONDON, United Kingdom- King Charles III, 75, has been diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace announced today, Monday, February 5, 2024.

"During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted," the palace said in an emailed statement. "Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer."

The statement also did not specify what stage the cancer was found.

Not prostate cancer- Buckingham Palace

Separately, Buckingham Palace said King Charles did not have prostate cancer.

According to the statement, the king wanted to share his diagnosis in part to avoid speculation on his condition but also "in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer."

King Charles ascended the throne last May in a coronation ceremony held months after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Elizabeth reigned until her death at the age of 96 in September 2022. She was Britain's longest-reigning monarch with 70 years on the throne.

I hope for full recovery for King Charles from this disease as I do for others that are suffering from its effects.

I need to hear about Africa present and past. It was never thought in school. Neither in church.

  Clearly. The word is taught. Perhaps you meant to say you never thought in school. This is very likely to be true.

  Trust me when I tell you that if he and his other British Officials with the same evil mind towards blacks and Caribbean people could take control of God they would do it and make God look like the devil and the devil look like God. This is how deceitful they are in their DNA.

In other news, please inform the people about potential thunderstorms starting from tomorrow into Wednesday. It is projected to rain for hours straight. I am grateful for the rain, but I hope it does not flood. Wear the right clothes and shoes; winds will be high, so be careful in the waters. Stay dry my people!
