On February 5th, King Charles III announced to the world, through a statement, that he had been diagnosed with “a form of cancer”, discovered after undergoing surgery for an enlarged prostate several days earlier. Said text, in which no details were given of the type of tumor – although it was clarified that it would not be from the prostate – reported that the monarch had decided to make his illness public to “avoid speculation” and with the “hope” of being able to “help all those affected by cancer”.
Since then almost 3 months have passed, in which the son of the Queen isabel II75 years old, has almost completely canceled his official agenda to undergo treatment against the disease about which hardly any information has emerged, although there is speculation that it would not even be chemotherapy, nor radiotherapy, but a pioneering and less aggressive method.
Although his appearances have been counted during this time, and it is evident that he has lost weight, the truth is that he has been seen in very good condition. The last of her was on April 21 – the day on which Queen Elizabeth would have turned 98 – when she was seen behind the wheel of her own car with Queen Camilla attending a religious service in a church near the Balmoral Palacein Scotland.
A reassuring image that contrasts with the information that has been given in recent hours about the state of the King Charles in media such as ‘New York Post’where they have dared to venture that the health of the British sovereign would be “progressively deteriorating.”
According to said newspaper, the situation would be so worrying that Buckingham would have put the machinery in motion for the “imminent funeral” of the father of Princes William and Harry. And despite the fact that he continues his battle against cancer, close sources have revealed that he is “much worse than they let on, really bad”.
Hence the preparations for his funeral – which were launched by protocol the day after the burial of Isabel II -, called “Operation Menai Bridge” and planned for a long time, they would be “actively updating”, so that everything would be perfectly detailed if the outcome were close as the North American press speculates, since the British press maintains absolute silence on this issue.
While rumors about the worsening of Carlos III does not stop increasing, nothing is known about the state of Kate Middleton and how he is coping with the cancer treatment that he made public, ending speculation, on March 22 in a video that shocked the world. Away from the media spotlight and focused on her children and her recovery, the Princess of Wales has the unconditional support of the Prince Guillermo, who has considerably reduced his schedule to be by his wife’s side in these very difficult moments.
Cancer in the UK royal family
The news of Kate Middleton’s cancer is another surprising development for the royal family since the February announcement that King Charles III was being treated for an unspecified type of cancer who was detected while undergoing a procedure for a benign enlargement of the prostate.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement that Kate “has shown tremendous bravery” in revealing this news to the British people.
“In the last weeks, Kate has come under intense scrutiny and has been treated unfairly by certain sectors of the media around the world and on social networks,” he commented.
King Charles III, 75 years old, has retired from public duties while receiving cancer treatment, although he has frequently appeared in photographs during meetings with government officials and dignitaries and has even been seen going to church.
