Former Prime Ministers Liz Truss, Boris Johnson, and Sir Tony Blair, as well as US President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, expressed worry and hope for the King's health.
"Wishing His Majesty a full and speedy recovery. I have no doubt he'll be back to full strength in no time and I know the whole country will be wishing him well," Sunak wrote in his social media post.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, and figures from across the UK political spectrum all wished King Charles III a full recovery.
"I, like Canadians across the country and people around the world, am thinking of His Majesty King Charles III as he undergoes treatment for cancer. We're sending him our very best wishes - and hoping for a fast and full recovery," Trudeau wrote.
