King Charles III is a living example of resilience after being diagnosed with cancer in February 2024. Despite he almost disappeared from the royal scene for a while, he wanted to prove to everyone that he could rule a monarchy even from bed, and he has been reflecting a lot on his last year.
On April 30, the Monarch of the United Kingdom released an emotional statement where he opened up about his cancer diagnosis. The King’s message was shared at a reception in Buckingham Palace for cancer support charities
As one among those statistics myself, I can vouch for the fact that it can also be an experience that brings into sharp focus the very best of humanity. Having the disease has certainly given me an even deeper appreciation of the extraordinary work undertaken by the remarkable organizations and individuals gathered here this evening, many of whom I have known, visited, and supported over the years.”
When he was diagnosed with cancer, it was reported that the King was reduced to tears after thousands of people sent letters of support. The King also stated that this kind of gesture is the greatest comfort and encouragement to get through dark times.
