LONDON, May 16 (Bernama-PA Media/dpa) -- The UK's King Charles III has spoken candidly about his cancer treatment, saying he would like to think he is on the “better side” of his journey, PA Media/dpa reported.
Charles' comments were made to a former cancer patient he met during an away-day with Queen Camilla on Thursday to Bradford to celebrate its status as the UK’s City of Culture.
The king has been receiving ongoing cancer care for about 15 months since he was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of the disease early in 2024.
The king stepped up his workload at the start of the year following positive progress with his cancer treatment, and that has continued despite the “bump” of spending a short stay in hospital after experiencing temporary cancer treatment side effects in March.
Charles will be flying to Canada for the opening of the Commonwealth country’s parliament at the end of May and, after a busy summer period, will be hosting a state visit by France’s President Emmanuel Macron when the royal diary is normally winding down.
