The King has bravely shared the “daunting” and “frightening” experience of receiving a cancer diagnosis, offering a deeply personal reflection on the journey.
Fifteen months after his own diagnosis, the King spoke movingly about how he found strength in the late Dame Deborah James, describing her impact as both “poignant” and inspiring. In a heartfelt tribute, he recalled her powerful words urging those facing suffering to “find a life worth enjoying; take risks; love deeply; have no regrets; and always, always have rebellious hope,” leaving a lasting impression with his tribute.
Tonight, as cancer patients gather at Buckingham Palace to celebrate the incredible work of local cancer organizations, His Majesty shared these personal insights in a message that resonated with many. Despite still undergoing regular treatments as someone “living with cancer,” aides report that his recovery is progressing positively, reflected in the demanding national and international schedule he continues to fulfill.
