King Charles reveals he has cancer

King Charles has made rare comments about his health while continuing his treatment for cancer.

On July 22, King Charles (76 years old) shared his feelings after talking to a cancer survivor during a walk in Newmarket with Queen Camilla.

According to Hello! magazine, Lee Harman, a local resident, shared: "I inquired about the king's health and he said he felt much better."

Harman told King Charles about his medical treatment and mentioned that the king had inquired about his health.

"He asked how I was doing and I replied, 'I'm fine, I was cancer-free last year,'" said Harman, 54, from the nearby town of Bury St Edmunds.

The candid remarks made during a conversation with a cancer patient marked a rare revelation from the king about his own health. King Charles has maintained a busy schedule of royal duties while treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, scheduled for 2024, continues this year. However, he is not uncommon to share personal feelings.

In February 2024, Buckingham Palace announced that the king had been diagnosed with cancer and had begun treatment. King Charles had undergone surgery to treat a benign prostate tumor in January of that year, but a spokesperson clarified that he did not have prostate cancer.

Following his doctor's advice, King Charles postponed public appearances for three months, but he still had to continue handling state affairs and paperwork.

The king returned to work in late April 2024, and palace sources indicated before last Christmas that his cancer treatment would resume into the new year.

"King Charles's treatment is progressing positively and his health is under control; the treatment cycle will continue into next year," palace sources said on December 20, 2024.

On March 27, 2025, the palace announced that King Charles had been briefly hospitalized following an adverse reaction to routine cancer treatment. The King was admitted to a London hospital (where he had prostate surgery last year) after experiencing "temporary side effects requiring short-term hospital monitoring," Buckingham Palace confirmed.

In late May 2025, the King and Queen Camilla (78 years old) arrived in Canada for a two-day official visit.

An aide shared how he managed his illness while continuing his royal duties: "What you learn about this disease is that you have to control it, and that's exactly what he does. Medicine has made incredible advances. Just follow the doctors' advice, live as normal a life as possible. That's exactly what the king is doing."

At that time, the king also shared things that "could be helpful" in the cancer treatment process when talking to a young man who was undergoing cancer treatment.

"He asked me about my treatment, which starts in June 2025, and talked to me about food and diet. He also asked if I had had radiotherapy, which I had done earlier this year," Stamford Collis, a 22-year-old student at the University of Exeter, said after meeting King Charles and the Queen at an outdoor reception at Buckingham Palace, The Telegraph reported. The King also said: "Sometimes it's about diet and what you eat."

Queen Camilla's son, food writer Tom Parker Bowles, said that King Charles and his mother always ate "simple, healthy, and seasonal" meals, with a cupboard full of "royal seasonal foods."
