Recently, the 75-year-old king underwent treatment for a benign enlarged prostate. After spending three nights in a private hospital in London and undergoing a procedure to resolve the issue, Buckingham Palace announced it was suspending public engagements to restore privacy. During treatment, an additional concern emerged, which was identified as a form of cancer. Now, he will be treated on an outpatient basis for this new condition.
