King Charles has issued a cancer update in a heartfelt new statement to the nation. Charles has been so moved by the nation’s support that he sent a message of thanks on Saturday night.
The King said in his statement that it was the “greatest comfort” and he is heartened that sharing his diagnosis has “shone a light” on organisations helping patients. As reported by the Mirror, the Queen has also said they have been “touched”.
Charles said in a personal and candid statement issued by Buckingham Palace that his illness had led to the growth of his own “lifelong admiration” for organisations like the NHS and charities that help thousands fight the disease.
The 75-year-old added that he was “heartened” that sharing his plight had helped promote “public understanding” of the illness – referencing the surge in online searches for NHS information about cancer and its symptoms. On Saturday night, royal sources said His Majesty is “doing well” and expected to attend church at Sandringham on Sunday.
While recuperating at his estate in Norfolk, he is understood to be focusing on resting in preparation for more treatment. Last month his condition was discovered during surgery at the London Clinic for an enlarged prostate, which led to the discovery of a “form of cancer” described as a “separate issue”. The King has begun “regular treatments” which started last Monday and postponed public duties. He does though intend to keep up his weekly audiences with the Prime Minister.
According to sources, Charles may even release photos and video of his meetings with Rishi Sunak at Buckingham Palace. The exact nature of the King’s condition is not known - however, the Palace has confirmed it is not prostate cancer.
In his statement, Charles said:
