King Charles III<\/strong><\/a> is decently healthy at the age of 75. However, Buckingham Palace announced on January 17 that the British monarch had to undergo a \u201ccorrective procedure\u201d after seeking treatment for an enlarged prostate.

Although the monarch seemed to be doing well, Buckingham Palace revealed on February 5 that a \u201cform of cancer\u201d<\/a> was discovered following his surgery, which reportedly \u201cshocked\u201d multiple insiders from Buckingham Palace, according to PEOPLE<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really shocked when I heard it,\u201d the source told the publication on February 6, before adding, \u201cHe has not looked himself. I put it down to grief \u2014 he\u2019d had two deaths close together \u2014 but maybe he wasn\u2019t well, without realizing so. It would take it out of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, a Russian state-run TASS news agency ran a false report<\/a> on March 18 claiming that Charles had \u201cunexpectedly\u201d died. Buckingham Palace promptly responded to the hoax by noting, \u201cWe are happy to confirm that The King is continuing with official and private business.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Is an Enlarged Prostate?<\/h2>\n

An enlarged prostate, called Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), can cause bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems, according to the Mayo Clinic<\/a>. The condition becomes more common with age, especially in men over 50. Treatments include medicines, surgery and other procedures.<\/p>\n

Charles and Camilla, 76, were seen leaving The London Clinic on January 29.

Looking forward to getting back to work,\u201d she said in the clip shared on X.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

A palace insider also opened up about why the monarch decided to be candid about the health issues and disclose exactly what was going on. \u201cIt was sensible to be more open about it, as otherwise, people might have thought the worst,\u201d the source told PEOPLE<\/em> <\/a>for a January 25, 2024 report.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, doctors discovered that Charles has a form of cancer, Buckingham Palace confirmed in a public statement on February 5.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring The King\u2019s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,\u201d the palace\u2019s statement read. \u201cHis 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles spoke out about the support he\u2019s received since his going public with his diagnosis in an Instagram post<\/a> on February 11, 2024. \u201cI would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days,\u201d he said. \u201cAs all those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement.\u201d<\/p>\n

On February 21, 2024, Charles went to his first in-person meeting, which was with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak <\/strong>at Buckingham Palace, since he revealed his diagnosis.
