King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer after undergoing treatment for prostate enlargement (Picture: Henry Nicholls\/AFP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It has been one year since King Charles<\/a><\/strong>‘s cancer diagnosis on 5 February, 2024.<\/p>\n

Doctors said they were ‘very encouraged<\/a>’ by his progress after finding that Charles had cancer and remained ‘positive about the King’s continued recovery’.<\/p>\n

The Queen<\/a> also informed well-wishers just a month later that he was ‘doing very well’.<\/p>\n

Here’s everything we know more than one year on from the news of his diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Do we know what type of cancer King Charles has? <\/h2>\n

No. The palace has only confirmed the King does not have prostate cancer, and has not revealed any further details. <\/p>\n

In a statement, it said: ‘No further details are being shared at this stage, except to confirm that His Majesty does not have prostate cancer.’<\/p>\n

Is it linked to King Charles’ prostate treatment?<\/h2>\n

Charles’s illness was discovered while he was being treated for benign prostate enlargement<\/a> at the London Clinic.<\/p>\n

It was the same day Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, had abdominal surgery that sparked her own cancer diagnosis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The palace would later say Charles is ‘so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did’ after she announced it in March.<\/p>\n

He spent three nights at the London clinic private hospital, where doctor’s discovered a ‘separate issue of concern’. <\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace has confirmed the King does not have prostate cancer. <\/p>\n

How is King Charles being treated for cancer?<\/h2>\n

When the diagnosis was publicly announced, Charles returned from Sandringham to London to start his treatment as an outpatient.<\/p>\n

This meant he could stay at home instead of in hospital for the duration of hi treatment.<\/p>\n

Where Charles is being treated, whether it is an NHS or private hospital, and what treatment he has been receiving has not been confirmed.<\/p>\n

It was reported that Charles paused his treatment while on an 11-day visit to Australia and Samoa in October, according to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

The palace confirmed his treatment would continue into 2025.<\/p>\n

During a visit to Walthamstow<\/a> in December, Sikh faith representative Harvinder Rattan asked ‘how are you’, to which Charles replied: ‘I’m still alive.’<\/p>\n

What has King Charles said about his cancer?<\/h2>\n
