King Charles diagnosed with Cancer; A look at messages of support from world leaders

Several world leaders sent messages of support to UK’s King Charles who was diagnosed with cancer. The announcement sparked flood of support from around the world with world leaders sending messages of support to the British royal family.

The UK’s king Charles III was diagnosed with cancer, the Buckingham Palace said on Monday, and has begun treatment. Leaders from all across the world expressed their support for the British royal family in response to the revelation.

“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,” the Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

With the exception of ski and polo injuries, Charles, who ascended to the throne on September 8, 2022, following the death of his 96-year-old mother, Queen Elizabeth II, has typically been in good condition.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wished Charles a full and speedy recovery. “Wishing his majesty a full and speedy recovery. I have no doubt he’ll be back to full strength in no time and I know the whole country will be wishing him well,” wrote Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on X, formerly Twitter.
