King Charles has cancer

[CormorantStrikesBack]

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

Or maybe they could just cancel some appointments and a few scout huts and supermarkets can cope with being officially unopened for a few months. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I agree. He looked dreadful at the Coronation. I have my thoughts about this but to express them here would cause a riot.

William is returning to official duties on Wednesday.
I think this shows that the COS issue should have been properly sorted out I.e Andrew and Harry removed rather than fudging it by saying they can remain but not be used .

Sad news for his loved ones. Hopefully he will be treated successfully.

he is apparently positive about it so lets hope it is treated quickly and fully

Loads of people do well after a cancer diagnosis at his age.

However, he isn't exactly brimming over with good health generally, so who knows.

I thought he wanted a slimmed down monarchy? I don't think you can say right, now a couple of us are ill you can do some royal work after all .

Hopefully he recovers fully. I'm not sure why William can't do some work. They can afford help if Kate needs it

I’m no fan of the royal family but at the end of the day, this is a human being we’re talking about and a family member. I think it’s really sad & I hope he makes a full recovery.

He's on his way apparently

This is very sad. I KNOW he defines privilege but he has had some bad few years.

in what way isnt he in good health? as far as you can guess?

Can we get a refund on the ridiculous amount of money spent on The Coronation, is a fairly valid question at this point.

Both my grandfathers, my dad and my fil were diagnosed in their late 60’s early 70’s and didn’t respond to treatment.

I doubt very much he would say anything else ! When I was diagnosed o told everyone that I would be absolutely fine but inside I was a wreck .

Just incidentally... I'm watching the news, and they did some footage of him and it struck me how much he looked like his father, I've never seen that before till now.

poor camilla

Obviously I hope that the King does respond to treatment. I am not wishing him ill!

Oh this is very unfortunate. I assumed it was prostate (which is very manageable) so I’m very sad to hear it’s something else.

With Charles and Kate both indisposed, this will put a lot of stress on the family.

News just confirmed Harry is heading over to visit.

Makes it appear at lot more serious.

Apparently Harry is flying over to see his father which is lovely for Charles but I imagine other family members may not feel the same .

Harry has spoken to his Father and is coming to London in the next few days so can all those sniping leave it out?

Xpost

I mean when you only just become king at such an age where health often starts to fail then. This in the hand the family are dealt
with now slimmed down.

obviously nobody well most of us don’t wish him ill but I certainly don’t expect him to be king for a long time personally.

Why does that matter? Harry isn't allowed to see his dad because it'll upset William?

Poor Charles, genuinely.
