President Joe Biden has expressed concern for Britain’s King Charles III following his cancer diagnosis, news of which the palace announced Monday—sending shockwaves across the United Kingdom.
Asked by reporters in Las Vegas if he had a message for the king, Biden said he had “just heard his diagnosis” and said, “I’m concerned about him. Hopefully I’ll be talking to him soon.”
Biden is currently in Nevada campaigning ahead of the state’s Democratic Party primary on Tuesday.
Former President Donald Trump also sent his best wishes to the monarch via a brief all-caps post on Truth Social, writing that the king was a “WONDERFUL MAN, WHO I GOT TO KNOW WELL DURING MY PRESIDENCY.”
He added, “WE ALL PRAY THAT HE HAS A FAST AND FULL RECOVERY!”
Charles has begun outpatient treatment for cancer and is pausing public-facing events, Buckingham Palace announced Monday afternoon, but aides have insisted he will continue with paperwork and private meetings. The palace said Charles “remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.”
The palace said doctors discovered Charles’ cancer during a recent procedure to treat an enlarged prostate, but clarified that he does not have prostate cancer.
“During the king’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,” Monday’s statement read. “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”
“His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.”
Prince Harry, whose relationship with his father has been strained in recent years, is dashing back from California to be by his father’s side.
According to British newspaper The Telegraph, Harry is set to board a flight Monday night to be at Charles’ side, while his wife, Meghan Markle, plans to remain at home in California with their two children, Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2.

You think Biden cares about the king not true he only care about himself
The WH dead eggplant cares only about his low pills. He should tell the Senate cumquat the schmuck to get the House immigration bill up for a vote if he really wants some credit
Biden is a much better person that the Republicans options presented to us…BUT also , why do we care about King Charles? he is not our king, he is not likable, crappy father and cheated on his wife Diana….
Oh wait, I get it…..for you guys Trump is even a worst version of a King Charles…kind of your own Orange King
The Republicans will never pass an immigration bill, they don’t want to solve the borders problem, they want to use the border to win election.
You are deranged. Uninformed and stuck on stupid —- facts drive you to imitate dimwit Biden to incompetence
You are very much correct. If the border is fixed…or even manageable…..what else can they run on, anti wokeness? Republicans are also downplaying their plans to do away with ACA and having to re-authorized Social Security and Medicare every 5 years…..Gee, I wonder how those rural GOP voters may feel when their nearest hospital closes OR those in Social Security and Medicare when their benefits are threatened or cut on one of those…so very frequent GOP budget shutdowns
Are u such a useful idiot to believe that BiDum and garland would enforce the new joke of a bill as they ignored immigration laws for 3 plus year. Karen
Ok Karen you and BiDum are officially inducted in the useful idiots society of the fascist state of mind
