King Charles’ Cancer Battle: Everything To Know

Days after Buckingham Palace first revealed his health issue, King Charles wrote a personal statement to address his battle.

His February 10 message read: “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.”

King Charles revealed why he would like to be open about the dreaded illness, adding: “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 organizations which support cancer patients and their families across the U.K. and wider world. My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater as a result of my own personal experience.”

In August, King Charles shared an update while attending the Southport Town Hall.

He told a royal fan: “I’m not too bad.”
