The monarch opens up about missed opportunities during a candid moment with New Zealand's rugby team.
Amid his ongoing cancer treatment, King Charles made a rare and emotional confession during a recent event at Buckingham Palace. The monarch, who revealed his diagnosis in February, welcomed the New Zealand women's rugby team and shared a touching moment with them.
While the meeting was filled with warmth, including a spontaneous group hug, Charles also reflected on his personal struggles, just days after Catherine announced she is “cancer-free.” He explained why New Zealand was excluded from his travel plans, citing doctor’s orders as the reason he cannot visit the country in October, though he expressed hope for a future trip.
In a moment of reflection, the King offered advice to the young players, acknowledging the fleeting nature of youth. “Make the most of your time in the team because you don’t stay young for very long,” he said. "In my experience, it goes quicker than you think," revealing a poignant regret from his own life.
