King Charles’s health battle has been shrouded in secrecy, with limited updates from the Palace. The monarch was diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer earlier this year, following a routine procedure in January. With his time divided between London for treatment and the serene royal estate of Sandringham for rest, the current state of the king’s health remains uncertain.
While the Palace was forthcoming about the diagnosis, they did not disclose the specific type or stage of cancer. Recently, concerning reports have emerged suggesting that King Charles’s health is deteriorating behind the scenes. TMZ and the Daily Beast claim that his aides are regularly updating his funeral plans under the code name “Operation Menai Bridge.”
According to a royal insider, King Charles is determined to overcome the illness, and all efforts are being made to achieve that. However, the insider reveals that the king is much more unwell than what is being publicly conveyed. These reports serve as a somber reminder that even with funeral arrangements being considered due to his age and current health issues, Charles’s treatment is not progressing as smoothly as hoped.
In an attempt to spend more time with his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, King Charles is planning to invite Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the UK later this year. The king’s relationship with Prince Harry has been strained in recent years, compounded by the revelations made by Harry and Meghan since their move to the US. It is no surprise that Charles has not had as much contact with Archie and Lilibet as he would have liked.
A royal insider suggests that Charles is eager to see his grandchildren and is extending an olive branch to Meghan and Harry. Balmoral, the tranquil Scottish residence, is considered an ideal location for a reunion. If Charles extends the invitation, Harry and Meghan should seriously consider accepting it.
