Charles' cancer was discovered in February when he went in for a "benign prostate enlargement" procedure at the London Clinic.
The monarch was "advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties" while undergoing a series of "regular treatments," a statement from the palace said. It's unclear what cancer diagnosis Charles received.
Shortly after announcing his diagnosis, King Charles III opened up about the emotional toll it had taken on him.

According to royal family member Peter Phillips, the King's recovery process is "taking a little longer" than anticipated, drawing out frustrations.
"I think, ultimately, he's hugely frustrated," Phillips told Sky News Australia. "He's frustrated that he can't get on and do everything that he wants to be able to do."
A little over one month after King Charles made his announcement, the Princess of Wales announced that she had also been diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy.
