Men's health activists, including gay, bi and transgender health campaigners, have welcomed the decision of His Majesty King Charles III to break with traditional royal protocol in Britain and go public with his recent cancer diagnosis. Organisations such as Prostate Cancer UK said that they hoped it would encourage men to take the initiative and have themselves checked out, although the Royal spokesperson said that the King was not suffering from prostate cancer, but another, unspecified form of the illness. The Errol McKenna Foundation, which advertises on many of London's African-Caribbean community and music pirate stations, notes that black males are up to twice as likely as white men to suffer from prostate cancer and also urged men to get themselves checked out.
