The UK prime minister said he is thankful the King’s cancer has been ‘caught early’ as he wished him a full recovery.
Charles, 75, is facing regular treatment for cancer after his shock diagnosis was uncovered during his recent hospital stay for a procedure on an enlarged prostate.
The King, who has postponed all his public duties, returned to London from Sandringham on Monday and has already begun his medical care as an outpatient under the supervision of his specialist team of doctors.
Rishi Sunak said he was left ‘shocked and sad’ when he was told about the King’s cancer diagnosis.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: ‘All our thoughts are with him and his family.
‘Thankfully, this has been caught early.’
He said that everyone will be hoping the King ‘gets the treatment that he needs and makes a full recovery’.
‘That’s what we’re all hoping and praying for, and I’m of course in regular contact with him and will continue to communicate with him as normal.’
Buckingham Palace confirmed the King, who only acceded to the throne 17 months ago, does not have prostate cancer.
Further details of his condition have not been disclosed, and the Palace, which announced the news in a statement at 1800 GMT on Monday, asked for privacy and only confirmed it is a ‘form of cancer’.
Charles was diagnosed after a ‘separate issue of concern was noted’ and investigated while he was being treated for his benign prostate condition.
