"Today I am able to share with you the good news that thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to doctors’ orders, my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the New Year," he said during his address, the New York Post reported.

Charles, 77, was diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer last February. 

His announcement on Friday came as part of a national cancer awareness campaign in Britain.
