Londoners react to King Charles' cancer diagnosis, Prince Harry's return to UK

Visitors and morning commuters outside Buckingham Palace praised Britain's King Charles III for sharing his cancer diagnosis publicly and wished him well on Tuesday.

"I think it's definitely just devastating because of the fact he was just coronated less than a year ago. But I think that it's wonderful that he's sharing that with the country and with the world," a mother of four told Reuters.

Buckingham Palace announced on Monday evening that the king has been diagnosed with a form of cancer.

Charles, who became king in September 2022 following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II, has begun a series of treatments, the palace said, adding he was looking forward to returning to full duty as soon as possible.

"He's going to have the best doctors, he's got the best chance, age against him. Rest up, boy. Abdicate, give up the throne, give it to William. You get better. Crack on. Enjoy Camilla," one Londoner said.

The cancer revelation comes after Charles, 75, spent three nights in hospital last month when he underwent a corrective procedure for a benign enlarged prostate.
