The King's cancer diagnosis is featured on all of Tuesday's front pages.

The Times reveals, external that insiders felt the news could not stay secret for long given the King had started attending treatment. But commentary on the front of the Telegraph, external says it is typical of the King's openness that he would share the news.
The Daily Mirror says, external doctors hope it will encourage those with signs of the disease to seek treatment. A GP in the paper writes it shows cancer is indiscriminate and there is no shame in seeking help.
The Times understands the disease has been caught at an early stage.

The Daily Mail,, external the Metro, and the Daily Star are among the papers to mention that the Duke of Sussex is due to fly back to the UK. The Mail asks whether the King's diagnosis will spur a reconciliation between his sons.
The Daily Mirror's royal editor says those close to Prince Harry have routinely stressed to him the desire to repair relations, and says the King has constantly declared his love for his children. But the piece also says the Prince of Wales still feels aggrieved by his brother's statements, and is unlikely to share the confidence of some Palace staff that love conquers all.
