King Charles expresses gratitude for the outpouring of public support he has received since Buckingham Palace announced his cancer diagnosis earlier this week. The 75-year-old monarch is being treated for an unspecified form of cancer and is presently residing at Sandringham. His cancer was discovered while undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate in January. Palace representatives confirmed that it is not prostate cancer.

Charles left Clarence House, London, for Sandringham on Wednesday accompanied by the Queen. Prince Charles and the Queen’s brother, who has regularly been seen meeting NHS staff to thank them for their work and dedication during the COVID-19 pandemic, also thanks people who have supported both his father and Catherine, expressing the messages mean a lot to the family. The King has temporarily stepped back from public duties while being treated for cancer. The senior royals have taken on some of these responsibilities at various events.
The public has been very supportive of the King, and the Queen has shared that he has been “touched by all the letters and messages the public has been sending from everywhere.” Charles’ younger son, the Duke of Sussex, briefly visited him at Sandringham on Wednesday before returning to the US. The Princess of Wales, who recently underwent abdominal surgery, is resting and recovering. She is not expected to return to royal duties until after the Easter holiday.
