King Charles III has been diagnosed with a form of cancer and has begun treatment, Buckingham Palace announced on Monday.

Less than 18 months into his reign, he will suspend his public duties but will continue with state affairs and will not relinquish his constitutional duties as head of state.

The Palace said the cancer is unrelated to the king’s recent treatment for a benign prostate condition.

However, it did not specify the type of cancer the 75-year-old monarch is suffering from, as reported by The Associated Press news agency. Below is the line of succession to the throne of the United Kingdom.
