Prince William has spoken out for the first time since his father, King Charles, was diagnosed with cancer. In a recent statement, he expressed his gratitude for the messages of support received for both his father and his wife, Catherine, who is currently recovering from abdominal surgery.
The past few weeks have been challenging for the royal family, with the focus being on their health issues. To take a break from it all, Prince William attended an air ambulance function, where he joked about needing a change of scenery.
While the specifics of King Charles’ cancer battle have been kept private, Buckingham Palace confirmed that it is not prostate cancer. Following a recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, another issue of concern was discovered. As a result, the King has started regular treatments and has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. However, he will continue to fulfill state business and official paperwork as usual.
In an effort to prevent speculation and raise public awareness, King Charles chose to share his diagnosis. The Palace has also been sharing helpful tips for those battling cancer or supporting loved ones through the journey.
As the royal family navigates this challenging time, it remains unclear what the next steps will be for King Charles. However, they are grateful for the support and messages of encouragement they have received from people around the world.
