Britain's prime minister says that King Charles III’s cancer was caught early and the monarch will “crack on” with his constitutional duties. The remarks came as Prince Harry flew in from California on Tuesday for a rare visit with his father. Royal officials announced Monday that the 75-year-old king has been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer and is receiving treatment as an outpatient. Less than 18 months into the reign that he’d famously waited decades to begin, Charles suspended public engagements but will continue with state business and won’t be handing over his constitutional roles as head of state. On Tuesday afternoon, Harry could seen arriving at the king’s Clarence House residence in a black SUV after an overnight flight.

The Supreme Court has agreed to take up a dispute over a medication used in the most common method of abortion in the United States. It’s the court’s first abortion case since it overturned Roe v. Wade last year. The justices Wednesday said they’ll hear appeals from the Biden administration and the New York-based maker of the drug mifepristone asking the court to reverse an appellate ruling that would cut off access to the drug through the mail and impose other restrictions, even in states where abortion remains legal. The case will be argued in the spring, with a decision likely by late June, in the middle of the 2024 presidential and congressional campaigns.
