King Charles said on Friday his treatment for cancer can be reduced in the next year as he talked about his experience living with the disease in a televised address.
Charles, 77, was diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer last February, and made the latest announcement in a televised broadcast as part of a national cancer awareness campaign in Britain.
"I am able to share with you the good news that thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to doctors' orders, my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the new year," he said.
The cancer was detected in tests after a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate, the palace said in February 2024.

Charles has continued to have treatment and, after some time away from the spotlight, returned to public duties in April this year with a busy schedule of ceremonies, appearances and foreign trips.
The message, pre-recorded in late November in his home, Clarence House, focused on the importance of cancer screening, and went on air on Channel 4, the palace said. It was released as part of Channel 4's Stand Up to Cancer campaign in partnership with the charity Cancer Research UK.
Charles' first public appearance following his diagnosis took place at the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre. The visit also marked his appointment as the new patron of Cancer Research UK.
