King Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer, says Buckingham Palace.
The type of cancer has not been revealed - it is not prostate cancer, but was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate. The King began “regular treatments” on Monday and will postpone public duties during the treatment, the Palace said.
The King, 75, “remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible,” it added. No further details are being shared on the stage of cancer or a prognosis.
…
Although he will pause his public events, the King will continue with his constitutional role as head of state, including paperwork and private meetings.

Wise words!
Englands’ cancer got cancer
99% of non-brits are like that.
Oh hey! It’s that thing that the British anti-monarchs said would exactly happen and how blowing millions of pounds on a creepy old fuck just so that he can have his name in the history books probably wasn’t the best way to spend the money!
Get fucked Charlie. You and your family are a skid mark in the history books.
No lords. No masters. No fucking monarchy.
But now we’re gonna spend that money again…
I’m sure the next one will be happy to sit in front of their golden fireplace and tell you how spending your money wisely will help you pay for groceries and housing.
Eh, worth it for a couple more days off work ¯\(ツ)/¯
You need to add a triple backslash, because two underscores count as cursive
The first backslash cancels out the first underscore. The second backslash cancels out the first backslash, “re-enabling” the first underscore. The third backslash then cancels the underscore out again.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯...: ¯_(ツ)_/¯¯\\_(ツ)_/¯..: ¯\(ツ)/¯¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(Dots for alignment. The fourth backslash in the last shrug makes sure no other cursive oddities happen if you use another underscore anywhere else in your post)
“Cursive”? I think you mean italic.
Forgive me please
Honestly, for a split second, I was all “Holyshit, we can type in cursive now‽ Hell yeah!”, but alas. 🥹
Ya’ll got one. I was there.
Well… he’s made it longer than Edward VIII…
It’s ass cancer, as they were doing a prostate checkup and the pr men don’t want to say what type.
In a way, I guess you could say he’s going out like Edward II.
Imagine being the poor bloke who has to finger the kings bum.
Could be bladder cancer. Either way, the Palace wouldn’t say because he’s getting a stoma and a bag.
Sad news for his family. Doesn’t affect me at all. But I wish them the best.
I see. So like the Middle East is on fire again but let’s talk about some billionaire getting cancer at age 75.
A bit of a silly take. It’s not like they can’t or aren’t making articles about both.
And that commenter engages with this post, which may bring more eyes to it, lol
All the world’s wealth and power will do nothing to stop a few determined mutated cells from multiplying ad infinitum. They may be “above” us in almost all ways that matter, but you can’t bribe your own cells. Of course he’ll get the very best possible care in the world, including whatever might be experimental right now, and yet - I’m sure he feels death’s cold hand on his shoulder. Too bad death isn’t a peasant you can shoo away like you’re used to…
At least for now…
So cancer can get cancer
Oh well, moving on…
SOMEONE GET A HEAD OF LETTUCE OUT!
Poor son of a bitch might end up not even having had a full year at it before he croaked!
Still unelected.

I call dibs on any leftover custom ethically sourced anointing oil (I am normal and will not deep fry a swan)
Charles is a strong lad, he’ll be fine
