Buckingham Palace stunned the world this week by announcing that King Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer.
The King had already made headlines after being treated for an enlarged prostate, a procedure that has led to this new and more serious diagnosis.

Today on The Front Page, we’re joined from London by UK correspondent Gavin Grey for the latest on this new royal shock.
