“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which

time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties,” the palace noted last month. “Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.”

Days later, Charles addressed his diagnosis for the first time in a personal statement released via Buckingham Palace.

“I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days,” he said on February 10. “As all those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement.”

Charles said it was “heartening to hear” from others with similar stories. “My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater as a result of my own personal experience,” he concluded.

While Charles has kept his public-facing duties to a minimum, he has hosted various meetings at Buckingham Palace while other royal family members have attended events in his place outside the residence.

Three 18-year-olds have been charged with first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of longtime sports radio personality Jimmy Dodds, whose death has shaken the Kansas City, Kansas, community and renewed concerns about youth violence.

Dodds, 64, was killed Sunday outside his home in the 3000 block of 82nd Terrace in Kansas City, Kansas.

Known to generations of listeners as “Uncle Jimmy,” Dodds built a following through his work in sports talk radio and was also a longtime employee of the Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities identified the three suspects as Aaron Johnson, Mark Nash Jr. and Marquel McGee.

All three suspects, who are 18 years old, are being held at the Harvey County Detention Center in Newton, Kansas, while awaiting transfer back to Wyandotte County.

Kansas City, Kansas, Police Chief Karl Oakman said the shooting stemmed from a disagreement involving people known to Dodds’ family.

“Some of his family members knew the individuals,” Oakman said.

“So, it stemmed from a disagreement.”

“But once again, we’re seeing people’s inability to control their anger.”

Investigators have not publicly released additional details about the nature of the dispute or what led to the deadly confrontation.

According to Dodds’ landlord, Michelle Karanja, he was sitting inside his vehicle behind a parked Chevrolet Tahoe when the gunfire erupted.

A visible bullet hole remains in the rear passenger side of the Tahoe parked at the scene.

Karanja said her husband was working outside when the shooting occurred.
