JAKARTA - Buckingham Palace, Britain announced King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer, after previously spending three nights in hospital last month on prostate enlargement treatment procedures.

The palace said there were separate issues of concern while being hospitalized, but gave no further details than saying the test had revealed that the king was suffering from cancer.

"No further details were shared at this stage, except to ensure that His Majesty did not suffer from prostate cancer," the palace said.

"Her Majesty has started a routine maintenance schedule today, and during that time she has been advised by doctors to postpone publicly related tasks," the palace said, quoted by CNN.

"Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to carry out state affairs and documents as usual," added the palace.

If the King is seriously ill and unable to carry out his full duties for a while, he can delegate some of the tasks to two or more State Counselors.

The State Counselors of the United Kingdom are Queen Camilla, Prince William, Prince Harry, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, Prince Andrew and Princessmen.

So, what if the King really cannot carry out his constitutional duties, so that the state will no longer run as it should? The king descended the throne and was replaced by his successor based on the royal line of success.

Citing the British Royal Site, The Succession to the Crown Act (2013) changed the provisions in Bill of Rights and Act of Settlement to end the male eldest system, where younger boys can replace older girls in the line of succession.

The law applies to those born after October 28, 2011. The law also ends the provisions in which those married to Roman Catholics were disqualified from lineage.

Based on this, Prince William is at the top of the successor to the royal throne. Behind him, in a row there are three children with Kate Middleton, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

In the next succession line, there is Prince Harry in fifth place, followed by two children with Meghan Markle, Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana.

The next succession line was filled by the younger brother of King Charles III, Prince Andrew in eighth position, followed by his heart from his marriage to Sarah totalingson, Princess knowledge. Below him, there is Sienna Elizabeth, the baby of Princessapri's marriage to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

In the eleventh position, there was Putri Eugenie, Putrixi's sister, who was then followed by her two children from her marriage to Jack Brooksbank, August Brooksbank and Ernest Brooksbank.

Next, there is Prince Edward, also the younger brother of King Charles III in the fourteenth position. Below him, there are James Viscount Severn and Lady Louise Windsor, Prince Edward's wedding baby with Sophie Rhys-Jones.

In the seventh position, there is Princess Anne, the younger brother of King Charles III who is right below her, aka the second child of the late Queen Elizabeth II. His position is on a successful line in accordance with The Succession to the Crown Act.

Next, the succession line is occupied by Peter Phillips, Princess Anne's son, followed by French Phillips and Isla Phillips.

The next succession line is occupied by Zara Phillips, the younger brother of Peter Phillips in second place. Complementing
