Buckingham Palace confirmed King Charles’ cancer diagnosis at 6pm on February 5 after his recent hospital visit for an enlarged prostate surgery. It is understood that the monarch personally called all of his kids to inform them about the news and this also urged Prince Harry to return to the UK and visit his father.
Since he had been discharged from the hospital until the Palace’s announcement, the Royal Family has been functioning as normal (well, as normal as can be). Queen Camilla took over most of the Royal engagements as Prince Willaim took care of Kate Middleton and Prince Edward took a ‘short break’ from his Royal duties.
