King Charles ill?

[SquashAndPineapple]

Was it just me that thought Charles looked really unwell at the coronation. His face was v red throughout the service (that could have been my TV, but...) His hands were enormous! They looked like the kind of hands I've seen in people with quite late on heart failure.

Anyone else think he really didn't look well? Hope he's ok ..

Hardly surprising. The family must resent the toll Harry’s words and actions have taken on their health.
King Charles probably made sure Harry signed an NDA before speaking with him to avoid anything he said being twisted and published.

I hope KC makes a good recovery.

Well he was hardly going to hang round the King's bedside, was he?

And I'm not sure we can read anything in to any of the others in his family (apparently) not seeing him on such a brief flying visit. And for all we know, he could have been catching up with friends

And he had to fly back for other engagements - he hs a sense of duty drilled into him. And another small issue: he has a young family that needs him.

i can’t stand the way his family seeem to be treating him. They should really give him unconditional love. They are meant to be role models. Many ordinary families are far more supportive of errant family members than they are. Also, no matter what they should protect him from the press. Instead they have thrown him to the wolves.

I actually feel that what he revealed in his memoir was the tip of the iceberg. I have read it and he only talks about things that happened to him (probably for legal reasons) but he probably knows so much more but is keeping it to himself.

Sense of duty? Umm…definitely doesn’t have that. He’s out for himself and anyone that gets in his way be damned. He has no regard for the feelings of anyone but himself and his wife.

Agree

They are meant to be role models

That is very definitely what Queen Victoria set out to achieve and look what an absolute shambles the current lot are, from Andrew downwards. If anything, they've collectively edged incredibly close to becoming the antithesis of role models for decent citizens, if not actually crossed the line (obviously one in particular has). Social media is extremely helpful - they just can't manage it in the way they've managed media historically.

It's bizarre that we're funding these people.

Just read that Charles is planning to go to Austalia this year. Must be feeling a bit better.

I think it shows that, at present, there is no reason to expect anything other than typical progress through treatment/recovery back to normal health.

It's a plan, yes.

I'm afraid the journalists I know are hearing much less optimistic suggestions about the King's health currently

My guess is that he has a form of cancer that's generally terminal. Otherwise he would have revealed his diagnosis.

Surely he wouldn’t be going to Australia if that were the case?

My guess is that he has a form of cancer that's generally terminal. Otherwise he would have revealed his diagnosis

My guess is that no-one but HM and his doctors know. Let alone 'journalists' that posters happen to 'know.'

I think you would have to be relatively fit to want to travel to Australia. So if that's the plan he must be on the mend.

I have cancer and I'm off to Aus in the autumn. Not every diagnosis is terminal - oncologists took several months to diagnose mine and it's under control with oral chemo.

FGS I wish a couple on Celebrity Big Brother would shag each other so we could move on from all this crap

Then why did you click on this thread let alone comment?

it is an old thread
why was it resurrected

Who knows, because I was bored? Because it was the first thing that came into my head, because I was in a different discussion on a different thread and this was related and then it frustrated me? Who knows?

Why did you make your comment?

Buckingham Palace have only said it's his plan to go; not confirmed

The news has said that Charles expects to go to church on Sunday. I was wondering about the Maundy money on Thursday so I looked for it and the Queen is going to Worcester to distribute it.

Hello

I was pleased to hear on the news today that our King Charles is doing well and will be attending the church service on Easter Sunday.

Wishing our King Charles a speedy recovery to full health, soon.

Good as confirmed

@DistinguishedSocialCommentator the more you post on these threads the more I am convinced you are Camilla 😆

The bottom line, even the so-called royal reports don't know.

There are many types of cancers and most of them can be resolved if caught in time. Others can be managed relatively well for many years.

I just hope the king is able to get on with his life even as he undergoes treatments etc as no one but no one knows when their time is up, cancer or no cancer

TBH, I felt our King should have shared what cancer he had because it would have meant more people looking out for that type of cancer. However, our King has decided not to share the exact diagnoses and that's his prerogative and one I dearly respect and understand!!

I've had cancer and left work, this was years ago. My OH asked me to share with the diagnosis my siblings, I decided I did not want. Nor did I share it with my in-laws whom I'm close to. The reason for this was not to burden them and then get fed up of being asked how I was and if I did this, that and the other. As the years went on and I was getting the clear, I did share it with in-laws who live close to us and told them not to share with my family as my siblings live some distance and would only worry.

Most of us are guilty if not being well but too scared to go to GP just in case they refer us to the hospital then wait etc. I was worried sick re waiting for the results but once I got them, it was easier, especially learning it was low grade and localised.

Wish King Charles a speedy recovery.

Sorry, I believe you are being light-hearted but there is a time and place for it and this is not it.

The recent BS speculation about the long, lost son and if he was going to visit from across the pond. In the scheme of things, trust me that this must be the last thing on his mind as he has HRH KAte to think about, Camila, Willian and their children, rightly so.
