The Independent runs with Buckingham Palace’s “shock announcement”.

The Daily Mail says “Charles is so grateful they caught it early”.

The Times reports that Charles is “wholly positive” despite the diagnosis.

Prince William will increase royal duties in the wake of the diagnosis, according to the i.
