King Charles III, who ascended to the throne in 2022 following his mother's death, was first treated for an enlarged prostate in January.
In February, Buckingham Palace announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer.
On Friday, the palace provided an update, stating that Charles' treatment is ongoing but doctors are encouraged by his progress and remain optimistic.
The announcement came at 6 p.m. to ease concerns from the British public and political circles, who have grown accustomed to worrying news from the palace.
The text describes the role of the British monarch, specifically King Charles III, who has ceremonial duties such as signing laws and hosting the Privy Council, and provides a sounding board for the prime minister.
