King Charles latest news: King Charles' cancer 'caught early' says ...

After bombshell royal announcements such as yesterday’s news about the King’s cancer diagnosis, there’s a huge public demand for more information.

But don’t expect to hear much more of the specifics of the health problem or the treatment, with Buckingham Palace not planning to provide regular updates on the King’s condition.

So it’s worth managing expectations on what further details might be added, at least in the short term.

It follows a familiar pattern with royal news, where an initial statement is issued, which prompts intense media discussion and many responses.

But after that there can be few extra clear facts, despite a howling blizzard of speculation.

When it’s a question of someone’s health, there’s even more reason to expect privacy and the information provided is already deeply personal for any family.

So the focus will switch to the reactions and well-wishers and other sources of information. And today Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has gone further than the Palace statement, in saying the cancer’s been caught early.
