In February 2024, Buckingham Palace announced King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer. The Palace never disclosed what type of cancer the King has, nor what his prognosis is, but in a new interview with the Telegraph, a senior royal aide is sharing updates on the King’s health.
He is dealing “incredibly well” with cancer, the aide said, adding, “The thing you learn about this illness is that you just manage it and that’s what he does. Medical science has made incredible advances and I genuinely see no difference in him. As long as you just do what the doctors say, just live your life as normal as possible… that’s exactly what he is doing.”
Later in the interview, the aide, who remained anonymous, said King Charles “has dealt with his illness in a very human way, and the way he’s engaging with the public at a very human level. I think we now have a clear idea of what the Carolean age looks like and what it stands for – now and hopefully for many years to come.” The interview comes in the aftermath of Charles’s quick trip to Canada, where he delivered the Throne Speech to open Canadian Parliament.
Earlier this month, the King’s wellbeing was in the news as Prince Harry made comments to the BBC that he doesn’t know how much longer his father has to live. “He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile,” the Duke of Sussex revealed. The King himself has rarely spoken on the matter, but at a Garden Party hosted at Buckingham Palace, he spoke with a guest about radiation treatment, and offered advice about what can help.
