23 august 2024 в 02:50
King Charles III seems to continue to look at life optimistically.
During his visit to families affected by a knife attack in Southport on Tuesday, which tragically resulted in the deaths of three young children, the British monarch was asked how he was feeling during his ongoing cancer treatment.
Although Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace have consistently stated that they will not provide regular updates on the health and recovery of Kate Middleton, who announced her cancer diagnosis in March, 75-year-old Charles gave a brief response: «I'm not so bad», - according to Express.
Buckingham Palace announced the king’s diagnosis on February 5, a week after he was discharged from a London hospital following unrelated treatment for an enlarged prostate. The specific type and stage of Charles’s cancer remain unclear.
Palace representatives confirmed that Charles does not have prostate cancer, according to The New York Times. The king then began «regular treatment» and postponed public duties, as stated by the palace.
On April 27, Buckingham Palace reported, citing the BBC, that King Charles’s progress was encouraging, and his medical team «is sufficiently pleased with the progress made so far that the king can now resume a number of public duties».
On April 30, Charles and his wife Camilla visited the Macmillan Cancer Hospital in London to express their support and emphasize the importance of early cancer diagnosis. The king smiled and looked healthy during the visit, and when a patient asked him about his health, he replied, «I'm fine, thank you».
Despite the positive updates and Charles’s return to work, a source in the palace recently told the Daily Beast that Charles is still ill.
«Charles is doing fantastically well in his battle with cancer, but he is still ill. It is fantastically well managed to give the impression that everything is fine, but it is noticeable to those of us who are aware of such things that duties are becoming shorter and carefully planned; for example, sometimes he flies in by helicopter at the last minute before being flown out by helicopter and probably collapses in a chair at home», - the source added.
The source also said, «Honestly, once the popular notion that he will live to the same age as his mother [94] or father [99] is now less common».
The official cause of Queen Elizabeth II’s death at the age of 96 was listed as «old age» on her death certificate
