In a tearful press conference outside Kensington Palace, Prince William revealed that King Charles III has been diagnosed with aggressive pancreatic cancer.

“With a heavy heart,” he said, “my father has cancer.” His voice broke—not as a prince, but as a son.

Charles had kept his condition private, insisting it not distract from his royal duties. But growing concern pushed the family to speak out.

“He’s fighting,” William said. “And we’re with him.”

Queen Camilla and Princess Anne stood quietly by his side. The Palace has asked for privacy as treatment continues, while messages of love and support flood in worldwide.

As William turned away, he whispered:
“He’s not just the King. He’s my dad.”
