King Charles has returned to Clarence House to continue his official duties while undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer. The 75-year-old monarch was diagnosed during his recent hospital stay for an enlarged prostate, Buckingham Palace confirmed in a statement last week.
Palace officials said the King “remains wholly positive about his treatment” and hopes to return to full public engagements “as soon as possible.” Since beginning regular treatments, he has been working from his residences, including Sandringham and now Clarence House, where he is undertaking a limited schedule of official paperwork.
The King expressed his “heartfelt thanks” for the messages of support he has received, noting that sharing his diagnosis has helped promote public understanding and shine a light on organisations supporting cancer patients. Queen Camilla has described him as “doing his best” and “looking forward to getting back to work” during recent public appearances.
Buckingham Palace has not disclosed the specific type of cancer, but confirmed that the King has commenced a course of regular treatments. His public engagements remain postponed to allow for a period of private recuperation, though he continues to receive official papers and conduct private meetings at Clarence House.
