Two weeks ago, King Charles III revealed that he is battling cancer, and the World has reached out to support him during this difficult time.
Since his announcement, he has not had any public events. But today, he met with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at Buckingham Palace, and the two talked about the support he has been getting.
“I’ve had so many wonderful messages and cards,” The King said to him. “It’s reduced me to tears most of the time.”
The King added that it is nice to hear that there has been more interest in cancer charities since he revealed his diagnosis. Before he found out he had cancer, he had been a patron of several charities that focused on the disease.
By him revealing that he has cancer, he might’ve saved many people’s lives. That would not be a bad legacy to have. Besides being King of England, of course!
Today, was a good day at Clarence House because Queen Camilla welcomed some heroes to her home. She honored the Medical Detection Dogs, whose noses can sniff out diseases like cancer, Parkinson’s, Type 1 diabetes, POTS, and COVID-19. The charity is celebrating 15 years of service.
Her Majesty enjoyed having the arfdorable puppies over, and they loved meeting her!
Seeing how good she is with the pooches makes me wonder why the Royal Family doesn’t have more of them.
On Monday, King Charles III announced that he was diagnosed with cancer. And people all over the World send their prayers and well wishes.
Today, the 75-year-old released a statement of thanks. “I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days.
“As all those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement.
“It is equally heartening to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all those organisations which support cancer patients and their families across the UK and wider world. My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater as a result of my own personal experience.”
Hopefully, he will beat the cancer and remain the King for many more years.
On Monday, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer. And since then he has not made any statements on his condition.
Today, when Queen Camilla attended an event, someone asked her how her husband is doing. She told him, “Well, he’s doing extremely well under the circumstances. He’s very touched by all of the letters and messages the public have been sending from everywhere. That’s very cheering.”
Hopefully, he will continue to do extremely well, and he will beat this cancer quickly.
A week and a half ago, King Charles III went into the hospital for a procedure on his enlarged prostate. The surgery was successful, but doctors noticed something when he was there.
The doctors ran tests, and today, Buckingham Palace released a statement about the results.
During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.
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.
Hopefully, it is a curable cancer, and the 75-year-old will be able to enjoy a long life like his parents.
King Charles III is the second person in as many weeks in the British Royal Family to be diagnosed with cancer. His ex-sister-in-law Sarah Fergurson revealed on January 22nd that she has malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer. And we still do not know why Princess Kate underwent abdominal surgery three weeks ago.
UPDATE: According to ITV News’ Chris Ship, King Charles III does not have prostate cancer. He added that he is being treated as an outpatient, so he will still be able to do his Head of State duties via the phone.
UPDATE 1: ITV News’ Chris Ship says that Prince Harry was made aware of his father’s diagnosis and will be traveling back to London in the next few days to see him.
