this morning across the pond the king's cancer shock dominating headlines in Britain doctors diagnosing the 75-year-old with cancer but the pal is not saying what kind of cancer or what stage it is actually quite difficult to get a sense of exactly how this is going to pan out for the next few weeks or months Buckingham Palace is being very open on the one hand but very fiercely guarding the king's privacy on the other hand Buckingham Palace says Charles began regular treatments for cancer yesterday one week after being treated for an enlarg prostate the palace says doctors found a separate issue during that treatment and further tests identified a form of cancer the palace only saying it's not prostate cancer they're saying he's receiving Outpatient Treatment in London but they are not giving any details of the kind of treatment he's receiving Charles has postponed his public events but officials say he'll continue his duties as head of state Prince Harry will travel to the UK in the coming days to see his father Harry left his official Royal duties in 2020 moving to California with his wife Megan Markle no parents wants to hear that their child will suffer Harry did not spend time with his father or brother Prince William during his last visit to the UK in September he hasn't been into the UK very much since he left when he has returned for certain things such as Court appearances he hasn't always seen his family and we know that those tensions still very much continue it's clearly motivated potentially those conversations to start and perhaps those bridges to be built and I think a lot of people are hoping that is what will happen the palace says the king is positive about his treatment it's the second recent Health scare for the royal family Princess Kate is now recovering from abdominal surgery Andrew dibert ABC News New York
