King Charles gives emotional update on cancer fight in TV address
NY Post
King Charles delivered an emotional update on his cancer battle Friday night, revealing that doctors have scaled back his treatment plan after what he described as a positive response to care.
“Today, I am able to share with you the good news that thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to doctors’ orders, my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the New Year,” the monarch said.
The prerecorded message aired during Channel 4’s Stand Up To Cancer broadcast and marked one of the king’s most candid public moments since Buckingham Palace announced his diagnosis in February 2024.
He will continue receiving care, albeit on a reduced schedule, as doctors move into a more precautionary phase.
The 77-year-old has remained active throughout his treatment, continuing with state duties and public appearances — a routine that palace aides said has helped keep him focused and upbeat.
In the address, Charles emphasized the importance of early detection and praised advances in cancer care while extending his support to others navigating the disease.
