NEW: King Charles Diagnosed with Cancer

The king, 75, was discharged one week ago following treatment for enlarged prostate, which the palace said was not cancerous. During that treatment, however, a "separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer."

Buckingham Palace said Charles had "commenced a schedule of regular treatments," and that during that treatment he would "postpone public-facing duties." It said he would continue with his official business and office work as usual.

That's too bad -- hopefully it will respond well to treatment. Presumably, Prince William will get tasked with the ceremonial duties, at least those that are "public facing."
