British monarch Charles III, 76, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, according to a medical report published by senior royal correspondent Camilla Tominey. However, doctors say the disease has been brought under control and the king could live with it for many more years.
Key details:
- The king is responding well to treatment, but it will not be possible to completely get rid of the disease
- Doctors assume that Charles III will die "with cancer" and not "from cancer"
- The palace is already discussing celebrating the monarch's 80th birthday in 2028
- The king continues to perform his duties, but with restrictions (refusal to ride horses)
Charles III was diagnosed with cancer in early 2024. Despite treatment, the monarch never moved to Buckingham Palace - according to insiders, precisely because of health problems.
Family aspect:
The report also touches on the topic of a possible reconciliation with Prince Harry. Officials are considering the possibility of them meeting at the Invictus Games in Birmingham in 2027, where the king's grandchildren Archie and Lilibet, who he has not seen since 2022, could also be present.
Experts note that such a frank statement about the monarch's health is an unprecedented case in the history of the British royal family.
