Buckingham Palace has just announced that King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer.
The King will step back from duties as Monarch and Head of State while he undergoes treatment. They are stating that it’s not prostate cancer (though it was found during his prostate operation).

His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.
The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.
His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.

The press release states that he will NOT step back from duties as Head of State. There will be no public-facing activities but he will continue State business and official paperwork as usual.
Who would take charge if he did step back?

Are their enabling the regency act officially?
Wow! Prayers for his speedy recovery and everyone's ability to deal with this setback.
As for practical stuff -- So for now it's Camilla, William, the Edinburghs, the Gloucesters, Duke of Kent, and Princess Alexandra. Only 3 under the age of 60!
I do think it's time to recruit Beatrice and Eugenie. JMHO

Me,too. But is there any way to do that and bypass Andrew? Also Edward and his children should be in there.
I asked this in the Sussex's thread but has any member of the family commented? Also is Harry at all in line for any of this?
