jfid – Jakarta – Shocking news comes from Buckingham Palace. King Charles III, who ascended to the throne in 2023, has been diagnosed with cancer.
The type of cancer he is suffering from has not been disclosed, but it is known to have been detected through diagnostic tests conducted when the king underwent a benign prostate enlargement procedure.
This announcement has been approved by King Charles himself, who wishes to share his diagnosis to prevent public speculation and to aid the understanding of those affected by cancer. King Charles has also commenced treatment and has been asked to postpone his public duties temporarily.
This news has shaken the world, especially the people of England who have just welcomed King Charles as the successor to Queen Elizabeth II, who abdicated after a reign of 69 years. King Charles, aged 75, is the oldest king to be crowned in English history.
Many people have sent prayers and support for King Charles’s recovery, including world leaders. US President Joe Biden tweeted on X: “Facing a cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery requires absolute hope and courage. Jill and I join the people of England in praying for His Majesty’s swift and full recovery.”
French President Emmanuel Macron also penned his best wishes on X: “May His Majesty King Charles III recover soon. Our thoughts are with the people of England.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated: “I, along with Canadians across the country and around the world, am thinking of His Majesty King Charles III as he undergoes cancer treatment. We pray for a speedy and complete recovery.”
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak admitted to being shocked and saddened by the news but also thankful that it was known early. “Everyone will be praying for his (King Charles) full recovery,” Sunak said. Sunak also stated that the government will continue to collaborate with King Charles and Buckingham Palace to ensure the king’s well-being and security.
One of the organizations founded by King Charles is The Prince’s Trust, which focuses on assisting children and young people facing difficulties in education, employment, and life. Since 1976, this organization has helped over a million people.
Additionally, King Charles supports the development of arts and culture in England, including music, theater, film, literature, and architecture. He is also the patron of over 400 organizations related to these fields.
King Charles is also known as a good father to his two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, who are now married and have children of their own. King Charles always provides love and guidance to his sons, despite experiencing a divorce with the late Princess Diana.
King Charles also has a harmonious relationship with Queen Elizabeth II, who remains his mother and advisor. King Charles always respects and follows the Queen’s decisions, including when she decided to abdicate and pass the throne to King Charles.
With all his accomplishments and good personality, it is not surprising that King Charles receives sympathy and prayers from many people. Hopefully, King Charles will soon recover from his illness and resume his duties as king with full responsibility and dedication.
