Wow. What a shock

Charles dies, Kate and William decide to live as quietly as they can to give poorly Kate a calm and stress free life. Harry and Megan move into Buckingham Palace

I assume we're ignoring the three children in the line of succession above Harry in this load of cock.

Bladder cancer could be a strong option.Wishing him the very best, interesting given his views on a slimmed down monarchy.

Edited

The most likely diagnosis TBH .Definitely a part of he anatomy that would have been checked out whist having the prostate investigated.

No it's about him receiving a standard of care, privacy and dignity that is denied to everyone else because of a bullshit belief that he was appointed by god.

If the NHS is so fucking amazing why isn't he being treated in the NHS on an open ward where it's impossible to sleep or have any dignity?

Nobody believes he was appointed by God. The RF are rich, that is why they are in a position of power. They have historical wealth and are all descended from nobility. They would still be rich and get private treatment even if we abolished the monarchy.

Him and half the country

I have three unwell relatives. Two with cancer and one with something else. I don’t begrudge anyone else getting private healthcare.

I begrudge the fact our NHS is failing and the Tories for doing that. But I don’t begrudge anyone else who has the means to get private healthcare and chooses to. That’s life in a capitalist society.

Of course Charles is going to get special treatment. He's a Head of State.

Do you think Emmanuel Macron or Joe Biden would be treated on a public ward?

Many people have private health insurance. If you have PHI would you choose to use the nhs ? No, i don't suppose you would.

Lucky Harry. The Montecito Moaners have been wracking their brains as to how to get back in the RF now that their transatlantic Moanfest has run its course.

He has prostate problems, bound to be cancer.

Not at all, most prostate problems are benign.

I don’t think he has ever said the NHS is amazing has he?

the80sweregreat · 05/02/2024 21:01

Posted too soon
.. the cost of his security would be off the scale.
You'll never win regardless of what they did with him in regards to treatment that he is paying for himself anyway.

Emeraldrings · 05/02/2024 21:01

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think it sounds good. Think they said on the BBC that Prince Harry is flying over.
I know it's his dad but I literally can't imagine him coming unless King Charles was really sick.
Feel sorry fo Prince William, although he's got loads of help, its a hell of a lot to deal with.

the80sweregreat · 05/02/2024 21:00

If they did put him on an NHS ward with the usual ' care' most people get , the cost of the sec

Maggiethecat · 05/02/2024 20:59

possibly bowel cancer if discovered while they were looking at his prostate - just my guess.

wish him well but no more than the thousands of other cancer patients afflicted by the disease.

FluffyFanny · 05/02/2024 20:56

Everyone is referred for cancer assessment under the two week rule on the NHS. It's not about jumping the queue ahead of others, he's probably got private treatment anyway.

I thought Charles was quite into woo stuff like homeopathy?

Show quote history

He may well be, but I doubt at the expense of orthodox medicine, likely he’ll have access to the best surgeons, oncologist and cutting edge treatments the rest of us prols wouldn’t be able to dream of

Abouttimeforanamechange · 05/02/2024 20:56

I have wondered from the start given his age etc. Why they haven't just gone straight to William

To miss out Charles and go straight to William would have required Parliamentary legislation while the Queen was still alive, which she would have had to give the Royal Assent to. Can't imagine that she, or Charles, or William, would have wanted that, or that any PM would have had the nerve to suggest it.

I should think William and Catherine are hoping that they won't have to take on the job until their children are quite a bit older.

Honestly, I don't care.

My mum has been on a waiting list for over a year for major heart surgery while her quality of life gets worse every day.

Meanwhile some unelected spoilt rich man gets right to the front of the queue and blanket media coverage. Yeah, I don't want anyone to get ill but why should I give a fuck about Charles being sick?

All credit to him for revealing this to raise awareness of this condition.

How exactly do you raise awareness of a condition you've kept secret?

Similar for my dad, who's also the same age as our beloved monarch. It's hard watching him struggle with breathlessness, lack of energy, stress etc while we wait for a surgery date to finally come through.

It's not prostate cancer.

It is not connected with his recent surgery and is not prostate cancer.

It was noticed when he underwent his medical procedure for an enlarged prostate.

The cancer is a separate issue. He has begun 'a series of regular treatments'.
