Following the news of King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, has expressed concern for the king, stating that he intends to contact him immediately.
Biden’s statement came after Buckingham Palace shocked the world with the announcement that the monarch had been diagnosed with cancer. During this period, King Charles will suspend all public duties as he focuses on his treatment.
Members of the royal family are expected to be by his side, with his youngest son, Prince Harry, reportedly heading to the UK “within days” to see his father.

The US president has expressed concern for King Charles after he was diagnosed with cancer. While responding to reporters in Las Vegas, Biden said that “God willing” he would contact the king soon, noting that he had “just heard his diagnosis.”
He added, “I’m worried about him. Hopefully, I will talk to him soon.” According to reports, Biden learned of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis before meeting with culinary workers in Las Vegas.
Charles’ diagnosis came shortly after he was released from the London Clinic, where he had been treated for an “enlarged prostate.”
It was during this period that cancer was discovered. However, according to a statement from Buckingham Palace, the king does not have prostate cancer, and his diagnosis is not related to the treatment of an “enlarged prostate”.
The statement read, “During a recent procedure at The King’s hospital for a benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”

A statement from Buckingham Palace revealed that King Charles was scheduled to start regular treatment to fight the disease. During this period, the King was told by his doctor to suspend all his public duties.
“His Majesty has today started a periodic treatment schedule, during which he was advised by doctors to postpone the tasks facing the public. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to carry out state government affairs and official paperwork as usual,” continued the palace’s statement.
The palace shared that the king thanked his medical team for “their quick intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains completely positive about his treatment and hopes to return to full public duties as soon as possible.”
The statement concluded: “His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis in order to avoid speculation and in the hope that it will help common understanding for all people around the world affected by cancer.”

President Joe Biden’s remarks came amid an outpouring of support for the king as he begins treatment to fight the deadly disease.
An important message came from Cardinal Nichols, Cardinal of the British Catholic Church and Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster.
She said, “I am saddened to learn that King Charles is currently facing treatment for cancer. On behalf of the entire Catholic Community in England and Wales, I convey my deepest appreciation and assurance of unceasing prayers to His Majesty for a full and speedy recovery. God bless the King.”
Another message came from Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, a British author and prominent critic of the royal family.
Dr. Shola wrote in X, “Cancer took my father in his prime. I hate it with a passion. On this, King Charles has my sympathy. I wish him & thousands all over [the] UK was diagnosed with a full recovery from cancer. Watching the news & media has started whitewashing his legacy as ‘Monarch’ & painting him as a saint for ‘working’ when he should be focusing on his recovery. “
Prince Harry Flew To UK To Be By His Father’s Side

The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has reportedly been personally informed of his father’s illness, and he will travel to the UK to be by his father’s side.
Despite her frosty relationship with her father, reports claim that she has been kept in the dark about King Charles’ health since the monarch was admitted to the London Clinic for surgery for an “enlarged prostate.”
Harry’s trip to the UK to see his father will be a reunion, as the last time the pair were in the room together was during the coronation in May 2023.
However, King Charles has been in touch with Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, as he reportedly got a call from them during his birthday in November.
The Sussexes also sent their “best wishes” to King Charles and Kate Middleton in January, when their health challenges were initially announced. Like the king, Kate was also admitted to the London Clinic, where she underwent “abdominal surgery” to treat an unknown problem.
