| |  | Iain McDowell 6 February 2024 | | | Hello. After King Charles's cancer diagnosis was made public last night, we look at the implications for the monarch and the Royal Family.

 Image: Getty Images What King's cancer diagnosis means for the Royal Family As King Charles begins his day at home in London, he'll be receiving best wishes from world leaders for a speedy recovery from his cancer. Officials haven't revealed the type or how early it had been detected but the news is the latest mark on what's been a bleak midwinter for the Royal Family, according to our royal correspondent Sean Coughlan. This morning Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told BBC Radio 5 Live the disease had been "caught early". Prince William, who was already due to return to official duties after his wife's health problems, will now cover some of his father's engagements. But there won't be any constitutional shift - while the King's public role is on hold, he'll continue with his private duties. The 75-year-old will soon receive a visit from Prince Harry. Could this worrying time for the family help to bring them together? | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| 'King's cancer bombshell' but 'they caught it early' It's one of those rare days on which all of the papers lead with the same huge story. The Daily Mail says King Charles is "hugely positive" after his cancer diagnosis and it reports that the prognosis is good. According to the Times, the King called his sons and siblings to tell them about his diagnosis last week. Doctors "applaud" him for his transparency about his condition, says the i, and they hope it persuades more people "to get possible symptoms checked", while the Sun reports on the "nation's shock" and a "worldwide outpouring of support".
