The Telegraph, the Daily Mirror, The Sun and the Metro all report on Charles’s diagnosis which was found during treatment for an enlarged prostate.

The Daily Express and the Guardian say King Charles has started treatment and will step down from public duties.

The Daily Star leads with a photo of Charles and reports Prince Harry will fly home after the news.

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.

And, in other news, the Financial Times leads with a story on a US private equity dividend boost by “piling on debt” to ease borrowing costs.
