Summary

Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer and will take a step back from his public duties while he gets treatment. King Charles received a corrective procedure for a benign enlarged prostate last month and further tests revealed a “form of cancer.” Sources tell CNN that the King does not have prostate cancer. CNN Royal Historian Kate Williams joins AC360 from Buckingham Palace to discuss how the public is reacting to the news. Plus, historic rain has pummeled Southern California bringing landslides, power outages and dramatic rescues. CNN National Correspondent Nick Watt is in Los Angeles and gives Anderson Cooper an update on when the flood threat is supposed to end. Learn more about your ad choices.
