Another question raised by Charles’ diagnosis is what could happen in the event of his death, or if declining health were to force him to abdicate his throne.
In announcing Charles’ diagnosis, Buckingham Palace did not specify the type of cancer, the stage of cancer or the type of treatment he is undergoing or planning to undergo.
