King Charles III Shares Rare Personal Health Update During Visit to Southport

King Charles III was diagnosed with an unnamed form of cancer in early February.

During his visit with families affected by the knife attack in Southport on Tuesday, which tragically left three young children dead, the British monarch was asked how he was doing amid his ongoing cancer treatment. Buckingham Palace announced the King’s diagnosis on February 5, a week after he was released from a London hospital following unrelated treatment for an enlarged prostate. It is being fantastically well managed to give the impression that everything is fine, but it is noticeable to those of us who are aware of such things that the engagements are shorter and carefully scheduled; for example, he sometimes arrives by helicopter at the last minute before being choppered away and presumably collapsing in an armchair at home.”
