ALBAWABA - In the shocking, yet sad news that King Charles III was diagnosed with a form of cancer. Sudarshan Pattnaik, an Indian artist, decided to create a sand sculpture of the King, wishing him recovery.

It still hasn't been two years since Queen Elizabeth II's death, who herself tragically had bone marrow cancer, so for King Charles III to be diagnosed with cancer must be hard for both him and the rest of the royal family. While the type of cancer has not been revealed, it is said the King is positive about his treatment.

The King is said to also pause his public events for the meantime, though his weekly audiences with Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, will continue and will be in person unless his doctors advise against it.

The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, who currently lives in the United States, is said to be on his way in the coming days to see his father after having spoken to him and learning of his condition.

Many people from all over the world are wishing the 75-year-old King a safe recovery, with the sand artist Sudarshan Pattnaik being one of them. 

Sudarshan Pattnaik did more than just wish for the King to get better, however, as he went out of his way to make a giant sand sculpture of the King on the Puri beach, located in Odisha, India.

Under the sculpture, it could be seen that Sudarshan Pattnaik wrote the text " GET WELL SOON. His Majesty King Charles III " in the sand.
