King Charles ‘reduced to tears’ over well wishes following cancer diagnosis
Global News
King Charles has been reading the messages of support pouring in and says he's moved by all the well wishes.
King Charles says he’s incredibly moved by the outpouring of support following his recent cancer diagnosis, telling British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak that he’s been “reduced to tears” when reading the incoming messages and cards.
Charles met with Sunak on Wednesday, the first time he’s held his weekly audience with the prime minister since he announced he would be stepping back from his public engagements to focus on his health.
He also held an in-person meeting of the privy council before his appointment with the prime minister.
A video released by Buckingham Palace showed the two men exchanging warm words and jokes ahead of their state meeting.
“Wonderful to see you looking so well,” Sunak said cheerfully in the video.
“It’s all done by mirrors,” Charles laughed.
“We’re all behind you,” Sunak said. “The country is behind you.”
