King Charles has cancer

[CormorantStrikesBack]

Just announced on the bbc, doesn’t say what sort yet. Hope he’s going to be ok.

Buckingham Palace said a while ago that they will not be using non working royals as Counsellors of State. No Andrew, Harry or Beatrice.

(I wouldn't actually mind about the last two except for the tabloid headlines)

Pretty sad that his youngest son is estranged...I really hope Harry gets his priorities straight and comes to see his dad.

Poor poor William, what a burden of supporting his wife and now this, christ, doesn't matter what you think of the monarchy this is awful on a personal level

I know Anne, Edward and Sophie do a lot. Maybe it’s time to see if Beatrice and Eugenie still want to do more royal stuff? I believe they were keen before. But obviously have families now so maybe less so now.

I hope KC responds well to the treatment. I feel for Camilla as she must be worried.

no but kate is recuperating herself, and william was taking a back seat.
bad timing.

I hope Charles gets well soon, I hope Catherine heals quickly. On a human level I can appreciate what a difficult few years that family has been through.

Yes, Google it. Harry King at the age of 38.

exactly

I think that would make a lot more of the public into republicans!

Even better!

I do wish Charles well though and hope he recovers.

Typical, this thread is not even about Harry, and Meghan, but as usual some posters can't help having a nasty dig at them. Absolutely pathetic. Obsessed or what!

I hope not, purely because that would mean the death of Charles, William and his 3 children.

Gosh, thats awful, he hasn't looked well for a while now. I hope he recovers fully.

He's 39

I do agree that the King should have privacy, but announcing he has cancer without being specific will lead to speculation.

How can William realistically step up when his wife's just come out of hospital after major surgery?

Why do you think that? I’ve had cancer, twice, and didn’t have radiotherapy or chemotherapy either time. My DH has also had cancer - no radiotherapy or chemo there either. Lots of cancers don’t respond to chemotherapy.

I think given his age, 75, we have to be realistic about the situation.

Blimey, give the doctors a chance! My nan had cancer in her seventies and lived to 93. Bear in mind he'll have world class treatment too.

His age has nothing to do with it. All that matters is the stage of the cancer and if it’s operable.

They have staff. Much easier, practically, than for the rest of us.

No he didn't. Just some cryptic nonsense about a king being usurped by someone with no mark of a king.

Which is a million miles away from Harry Will be King. William and all the children are ahead of him for a start.

That is so good to hear. It's such a scary thing to be diagnosed with. It didn't happen like that for us, but a success story is always welcome.

Exactly. My gran was successfully treated for cancer in her late 80s.
