King Charles III: 'He will be determined to do everything to recover fast'
King Charles is stepping back from public engagements after starting treatment for cancer.
On Monday, Buckingham Palace announced the cancer was found during the King's recent treatment for a benign enlarged prostate. It has not revealed what type of cancer is involved.
Speaking to Today's Nick Robinson, friend and former adviser Dame Julia Cleverdon said the King 'will be determined to do everything he can to recover fast'.
Nick also spoke to Lord Michael Dobbs, a Conservative peer who knows King Charles and Queen Camilla, and has suffered from prostate cancer himself.
