King Charles has made his first public statement after announcing his cancer diagnosis.
In a statement released by Buckingham Palace on Saturday, the 75-year-old monarch expressed his thanks for all of the well-wishes he has received in the wake of his health news.
He emphasized that anyone who has faced cancer knows that good words are comforting and encouraging.
Charles III added that sharing his diagnosis had helped improve public understanding and shine a light on the work of all organizations in the UK and around the world that support cancer patients and their families.
Earlier, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he was shocked when he learned that King Charles III had cancer. He said he hoped the monarch would recover quickly since the disease was detected at an early stage.
