Salisbury, England – King Charles is reported to be responding well to his cancer treatment, Queen Camilla announced at an event at Salisbury Cathedral. The Queen expressed gratitude for the outpouring of letters and messages from the public, stating that it has been a source of encouragement for the King.
Buckingham Palace revealed the King’s cancer diagnosis earlier this week, which was detected while he was undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate. The type of cancer has not been disclosed, although it has been confirmed not to be prostate cancer.
As the King focuses on his treatment, he has stepped back from public-facing duties. Senior royals, including the Queen and the Prince of Wales, will assume some of his responsibilities for certain events.
During a musical concert celebrating local charities at Salisbury Cathedral, the Queen interacted with members of the community, including a paramedic who expressed his well wishes for the King’s recovery.
In light of the King’s diagnosis, the Duchess of Sussex traveled from the US to visit him before returning home. The rest of the Royal Family continues with their royal duties as well, with the Prince of Wales expressing gratitude for the support for the King and his wife, who is recovering from abdominal surgery.
The Princess Royal also attended official engagements, but did not comment on the King’s health when asked by reporters. The King is expected to continue with paperwork and his constitutional duties during his treatment, with no definitive timeline for his return to public duties.
