<\/p>\n King Charles was diagnosed with cancer <\/a>in February 2024, following treatment for an enlarged prostate. Since then, he has scaled back on royal duties, leaning on Prince William, Queen Camilla, and Prince Edward for support. Though he\u2019s made appearances at major royal events, an insider claimed his health is far from improving. They revealed the monarch has refused chemotherapy and is looking to meet Prince Harry.<\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Despite Harry’s bombshell interview<\/a> with the BBC earlier this month, Charles allegedly plans to see him during his upcoming Canada visit. A source dished to News Nation<\/a> that while Harry\u2019s remarks were \u201cunforgivable, as health matters are sacrosanct,\u201d he was right to be worried about his father. They said, \u201cCharles is indeed a sick man, and he does have cancer. He also refused chemotherapy and decided on a less invasive treatment. While Harry and his dad aren\u2019t speaking, Harry would be aware of all of this via back channels.\u201d Harry, in his BBC interview,<\/a> had said, \u201cLife is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has, he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff.

Another source also told Page Six,<\/a> \u201cCharles is determined to beat it, and they are throwing everything at it. Everyone is staying optimistic, but he is really very unwell.\u201d<\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
