(OSV News) — Cardinal Vincent Nichols has offered “steadfast prayers” on behalf of Catholics after it was announced that Britain’s King Charles III is undergoing treatment for cancer.
Buckingham Palace, the headquarters of Britain’s royal family, announced Feb. 5 that the 75-year-old monarch has begun regular treatment for cancer and has postponed all public engagements.
The palace confirmed the disease, which is not prostate cancer, was discovered while he was being treated in hospital for an enlarged prostate.
King Charles has started a schedule of regular treatments but has been advised “to postpone his public-facing duties.” The palace declined to confirm the type of cancer.
In a post on social media site X, formerly Twitter, Cardinal Vincent Nichols of Westminster — president of the bishops’ conference of England and Wales — expressed prayerful good wishes on behalf of Catholics.
