A Buckingham Palace insider has revealed that King Charles is ‘seriously unwell’ in a devastating health update.
Reports have been shared about King Charles’ cancer battle, after a royal insider revealed that the King is ‘seriously unwell.’
King Charles became the UK‘s monarch in September 2022, making him the oldest person to take to the British throne, aged 73.
It was announced that King Charles had been diagnosed with ca:n:cer earlier last year, and he has silently been battling the disease in the next months.
The specifics of his diagnosis were not made public knowledge, which was considered to be a well-thought through move from the King.
A source told The Times in 2024: “The king’s decision not to reveal the type of cancer was a conscious choice to be able to reach out to the widest number of people who are experiencing the disease, rather than narrow the focus onto a particular form of cancer.”
However, new claims have been made about his declining health by a palace insider, who has noted that Prince William is quietly preparing to step up when he is needed.
The King has been candid about his cancer battle in recent months, revealing that he was not doing ‘too bad’ during a public engagement.
But insiders have stated that he is ‘exhausted’ from ongoing treatment.
The source claimed that in spite of his allegedly declining health, the King is ‘determined’ to carry on fulfilling his royal duties for as long as he can.
Speaking to journalist Rob Shuter, the source noted that the monarch is ‘seriously unwell but determined to carry on.’
“Every morning he insists on reading his red boxes.
“He believes his service to the country is his calling – and he’ll keep going as long as he can.”
In the meantime, it’s been said that Prince William has been quietly taking on more duties in preparation.
The source noted that William is ‘quietly preparing William to step up – fast,’ as ‘the illusion of perfect health is collapsing.’
In spite of the reports, Prince William recently noted in an interview that his dad’s treatment was heading in the right direction.
Talking with Eugene Levy for Apple TV, the future King said: “Everything is progressing in the right way, which is all good news.”
