King Charles III shared a rare update on his health as he continues to undergo treatment for an unnamed form of cancer. 

King Charles III is carrying on and sharing a spot of good news.

While visiting with the families affected by the knife attack in Southport, which left three young children dead, the British Monarch was asked how he was doing amid his ongoing cancer treatment.

As he put it, per Express, “I’m not too bad.”

The update comes after the 75-year-old was diagnosed with an unnamed form of cancer in February. Though he’s been undergoing treatment since, Charles has only shared the occasional news about his health with the public.

Back in May, while in conversation with a British Army veteran named Aaron Mapplebeck  during a visit to the Army Flying Museum, Charles confirmed he’d lost his sense of taste amid his chemotherapy treatment. He didn’t share whether the effects would be temporary.

The Museum visit occurred shortly after Charles made his return to public-facing duties. Though he’d taken a step back following his initial diagnosis, allowing time for treatment and recovery, on April 30 Charles visited London’s University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre with Queen Camilla by his side.

While announcing the King’s return to public engagements on April 26, Buckingham Palace noted His Majesty is “very grateful to his medical team for their continued care and expertise.”

The Palace also expressed the royal family’s gratitude for the ongoing support it’s received from the world. After all, Charles’ diagnosis coincided with Kate Middleton’s own treatment for an unnamed form of cancer.

“Their Majesties remain deeply grateful,” the statement continued, “for the many kindnesses and good wishes they have received from around the world throughout the joys and challenges of the past year.”

While both Charles and Kate took a break from public engagements earlier this year, they have both appeared in public with more frequency in the past few months. On Kate’s part, she and husband Prince William attended Wimbledon in July, while she also made a surprise appearance in a video during the 2024 Paris Olympics.

“From all of us watching at home,” began the Princess of Wales in the video shared ahead of the Aug. 11 Closing Ceremony, “congratulations to Team GB.”

But while 2024 has brought both ups and downs for the royal family—including a scary fall for Princess Anne in June which landed her temporarily in the hospital—they have each other to lean on.

As Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson told Hello in an interview published June 3, “I think family unity is key. I love that the royal family are all supporting each other and carry on.”
King Charles III has been an inspiration to many as he continues to undergo treatment for his cancer diagnosis. Despite the challenges he has faced, the British Monarch remains positive and determined to carry on with his duties.

During a recent visit with families affected by a tragic knife attack, King Charles III shared a glimmer of hope by stating, “I’m not too bad.”

His resilience and perseverance have been evident throughout his treatment, with occasional updates on his health shared with the public.

In a conversation with a British Army veteran, Charles revealed the side effects of his chemotherapy treatment, including a loss of taste.

The King’s return to public engagements in April was a testament to his strength and gratitude towards his medical team for their care and expertise.

The royal family, including Kate Middleton, who also underwent cancer treatment, has shown resilience and unity in the face of adversity. Despite the challenges of the past year, they have continued to support each other and lean on one another for strength.

Princess Anne’s scary fall in June served as a reminder of the importance of family unity and support, as Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson highlighted in a recent interview.

As we continue to follow the updates on King Charles III’s health journey, we are reminded of the power of resilience and unity in overcoming challenges.

The royal family’s ability to come together in times of need is a source of inspiration for many, and we look forward to seeing their continued strength and support for each other in the future. Stay tuned for more updates and inspiring stories from the world of royalty.
