The Telegraph just published a pretty shocking report about King Charles’s health. The monarch has been battling cancer for over a year, and details of his health have remained under lock and key. However, the outlet reports that there’s “talk” that “he may die ‘with’ cancer, but not ‘of’ cancer following a rigorous treatment programme.”
They also note that one “concession” to his health is that “it appears unlikely he will ever move from Clarence House to Buckingham Palace after the restoration is completed in three years’ time.”
Apparently, there’s also some concern about Charles’s lack of relationship with Prince Harry as he grows older, leading to “exploratory” “discussions about if or when father and son could ever be reunited”—potentially at the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham. And in a pretty shocking turn of events, The Telegraph reports that the Palace has “carried out discreet polling” to find out how many people were aware of Prince Harry’s recent BBC interview—where Harry made it clear he wants to mend fences.
As a reminder, King Charles has been undergoing cancer treatment since February 2024, when the Palace released a statement saying, “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 statement continued, “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.”
