The British monarchy has always been a subject of global fascination, with the health and well-being of its members closely watched by people around the world.

Recently, a Buckingham Palace source has provided an update on King Charles' health, specifically regarding his cancer treatment, which has been a topic of concern and speculation.



At 76 years old, King Charles has been facing a health challenge that has required the attention of the UK's top medical professionals.

Since his diagnosis in February, the monarch's condition has been managed with care, and there are signs of improvement.

However, the journey is far from over, and the King is expected to continue his treatment into the next year.


‘His treatment has been moving in a positive direction, and as it remains a managed condition, the treatment cycle will continue into the new year,’ a royal insider said.

Despite his diagnosis, King Charles has shown resilience.

He has maintained a busy schedule of public engagements, including hosting a pre-Christmas lunch for the royal family and attending events with Queen Camilla that emphasise 'the importance of community’.

The King's cancer treatment has included weekly chemotherapy sessions throughout the year, which he was able to briefly pause during his tour of Australia and Samoa in October.

Looking ahead, His Majesty has plans for a series of 'exciting' engagements in the first half of 2025, which will include both domestic and international visits.

‘You could almost forget that this was a man who, at the start of the year, faced the shock of being diagnosed with cancer,’ the royal insider said.

It was revealed that an enlarged prostate led to a hospital stay in January, which subsequently led to the cancer diagnosis.



The royal family has faced a tumultuous year, with both the King and Princess of Wales receiving cancer diagnoses.

Prince William, in a candid moment with journalists, described the year as 'brutal'.

‘Honestly? It’s been dreadful,’ Prince William told the journalists.

‘It’s probably been the hardest year in my life,’ and added he just had to ‘crack on’ with life.

‘So, trying to get through everything else and keep everything on track has been really difficult.’

‘But I’m so proud of my wife, I’m proud of my father, for handling the things that they have done. But from a personal family point of view, it’s been, yeah, it’s been brutal,’ he added.



The King's health was also discussed during a private conversation between Prince William and US President-elect Donald Trump following the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

Trump shared that the Prince of Wales conveyed his father is 'fighting very hard' against the disease.
