Britain's King Charles Diagnosed With Cancer, Buckingham Palace Reports

by Reuters

   LONDON --

   Britain's King Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer and
   will postpone public-facing duties, Buckingham Palace said in a
   statement on Monday.

   Charles, 75, had spent three nights in hospital last month after
   undergoing a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate, when a
   separate issue of concern was noted. The palace said that tests had
   identified a form of cancer.

   The palace did not give any details about Charles' cancer but a royal
   source said that it was not prostate.
