SANDRINGHAM, England (Reuters) - Britain's King Charles attended church on Sunday in his first public outing since announcing last week he had been diagnosed with cancer and would postpone some engagements to undergo treatment.
Buckingham Palace announced on Monday that Charles, 75, had been diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer.
The king has been on the throne for less than 18 months following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth.
Charles, who is spending time at his rural Sandringham estate, issued a message on Saturday expressing gratitude to well-wishers following his diagnosis.
Beyond confirming it was not prostate cancer, the palace has not given any further details.
