Nearly a week after Buckingham Palace revealed King Charles's cancer diagnosis, the monarch provides an update on his health.
In his first public statement addressing his condition, King Charles expresses gratitude for the outpouring of support and well-wishes he has received.
"I am deeply touched by the numerous messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days," the statement begins, issued by Buckingham Palace on Saturday.
Acknowledging the comfort and encouragement such sentiments bring, he reflects on the profound impact of cancer on individuals and families.
He continues, "Sharing my own diagnosis has not only been personally meaningful, but it has also shed light on the invaluable work of organizations supporting cancer patients and their loved ones across the UK and beyond."
Expressing admiration for their unwavering commitment, he underscores the significance of their efforts, heightened by his own journey with cancer.
This update follows the announcement of the King's cancer diagnosis, which arose following surgery to address his enlarged prostate.
Prior to the public disclosure, King Charles personally informed his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, of his health condition.
While Prince Harry has not made a public statement, he promptly traveled to London following the news to be with his father in person, reflecting the family's unity during challenging times.
