He said: “Prince William’s been through so much, obviously, with what’s been happening with Kate, which we didn’t know about for so long. “I think he’s done remarkably well in really, really trying circumstances. “He’s still being himself on engagements, and he’s still joking when he meets with the public.” Buckingham Palace announced in February that Charles had been diagnosed with cancer.

Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer. “His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual. “The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. “He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible. “His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.” Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Email Us Copy the Link Register and have your say.
