I don't own a TV!

Eh no doubt he'll have the best if everything. I feel more sorry for normal people that I do him tbh.

No one's asking you to pick

All credit to him for revealing this to raise awareness of this condition.

Yes - that's what struck me - I'm no royal fan but apparently his openness about his prostate lead to calls about the issue to GP's increasing. He's patron of several cancer charities so it's good to continue to raise awareness

I hope it's fully treatable and he makes a good recovery. I really like King Charles and think he deserves a decent time to reign after waiting in the wings so long!

He has prostate problems, bound to be cancer.

They’ve just said not prostate!

I think Edward looks ill too. This is so unsettling

Why?

TheBayLady · 05/02/2024 18:06

It is not prostate cancer

Brave of him to share with the nation as well. Hope his treatment is a success.

Prostrate problem’s don’t necessarily mean cancer either

vodkaredbullgirl · 05/02/2024 18:05

I know now just watching the news.

Interesting that they said it was a benign issue when they announced his planned surgery.

I think this hints at a very early diagnosis, hopefully.

I read an article actually that said some prostate cancer is caught so early it’s almost too early to treat, so you stay in a wait and watch pattern. Though obviously I don’t suppose that would be the case for the King.

It isn't anything to do with his prostate.

Yes all over national news

Ah I haven't seen any news today

Comedycook · 05/02/2024 18:04

Willmafrockfit · 05/02/2024 18:03

oh dear, i hope it is treated quickly,
poor william though

Yes it must be a hard time for him. Such a shame he and his brother are no longer close... especially during times like this.

It’s not prostate cancer.

Goodness. It's not an easy time for the family.

Willmafrockfit · 05/02/2024 18:04

william will have a lot on his plate!

B Palace announced it

The Palace have announced it, and it's on The BBC news now
