According to a statement from the palace, King Charles will be receiving regular treatments after it was announced that he had cancer.
The 75-year-old King will continue to hold meetings and do private tasks while he receives treatment.
Regarding his therapy, he is optimistic and hopes to return to full duty shortly. The prognosis and stage of the cancer are not disclosed.
After the King told his sons, Prince Harry is coming to visit from the United States. The King continues to fulfill his official duties even if he is not making any public appearances.
If everything goes according to plan, he will see PM Rishi Sunak after going back to London and beginning outpatient therapy.
In the event that the King is unable to perform official duties, “counsellors of state” may step in.
The prognosis or cancer stage were not disclosed by the Palace when it announced King Charles’s diagnosis.
The King has started “regular treatments” and will take a break from his public responsibilities during this period, although he will still fulfill his constitutional obligations as head of state.
After speaking with his father, Prince Harry, an American, will soon be visiting his father in the United Kingdom.
The Prince of Wales maintains contact with his father, who told his sons about the diagnosis in person.
The King will not be appearing in public.
Every week, he will personally meet with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, unless his physicians advise otherwise.
“Councillors of state” may assume official tasks in the event that the head of state is unable to do so.
The King began receiving outpatient care after arriving back in London on Monday morning from Sandringham, Norfolk.
He is still pleased with his care and eager to get back to doing his official duties as soon as feasible.
Over a week ago, the King underwent a prostate operation at a private hospital in London.
The Palace told BBC News that the patient was receiving treatment for a “benign” ailment.
Doctors discovered and identified a type of cancer during the intervention, the Palace announced on Monday.
As Prince of Wales, the King sponsored numerous cancer-related causes, which is why he made the decision to make his cancer treatment public, according to the Palace.

In this role, His Majesty has frequently made public statements in favor of cancer patients, their families, and the amazing medical staff who support them.
In an effort to urge more men to undergo prostate exams, he had also made his prostate treatment public.
He was happy to spread the word, and as a result, the NHS website saw an increase in queries about prostate conditions.
In the UK, one in two people will eventually get cancer of some type.
According to the NHS website, there are more than 200 different forms of cancer; the most prevalent ones in the UK are colon, prostate, lung, and bone.
The risk increases for many types of cancer. According to UK statistics, nearly one-third (36%) of all new cancer cases occur in people 75 years of age or older each year.
The Dawn reports that the Royal Society of Medicine thanked the King for highlighting the indifference of cancer and urged qualified individuals to make appointments for cancer tests.
Its president, Dr. Jay Verma, said, “Please don’t be shy. The more information we have, the better to help – hopefully – rule out cancer or, if not, put you on the most suitable treatment pathway.”
CNN reports that Buckingham Palace announced on Monday that British King Charles III had received a cancer diagnosis. He will take on fewer public appearances while undergoing therapy.
Charles had a lengthy and illustrious career as the Prince of Wales before ascending to the throne.
He was born in 1948, and when Queen Elizabeth II took the throne at age three, he became the heir apparent.
In 1969, he was officially invested as Prince of Wales during a televised ceremony.
Charles attended prestigious schools, including Trinity College and Cambridge, and from 1971 to 1976 he was a member of the Royal Navy.
King Charles has dedicated his life to addressing a wide range of concerns, such as public health, the environment, architecture, and youth chances.
Since its founding in 1976, The Prince’s Trust has assisted hundreds of thousands of young people in advancing their careers and skill sets.
His dedication to public service has been a defining characteristic of his royal duties, and his effort has had a tremendous impact.
In fact, King Charles continues to carry out his native duties as head of state even if he is dealing with health issues related to his cancer diagnosis.
Even while he is undergoing treatment, he continues to serve the country through paperwork and private meetings.
