King Charles III Opens Up About Side Effects from Cancer Treatment
In a heartfelt interview at the Army Flying Museum, King Charles III revealed for the first time that he has experienced side effects from his cancer treatment. The discussion took a personal turn when British Army veteran Aaron Mapplebeck shared his own struggle with losing his sense of taste due to cancer treatment. This prompted the King to open up about his own hardships with losing a sense.
This candid revelation marks a significant moment as it is the first time King Charles III has publicly addressed the side effects of his treatment, even though the specifics of his diagnosis and treatment still remain unknown.
King Charles III’s health status was made public on February 5, 2024, when it was announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer. Since then, he has been receiving regular medical care and took a break from his official duties. However, he has recently returned to his public duties, reaffirming his commitment to his role as monarch. On May 13, 2024, he formally assigned Prince William the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps.
This visit to the cancer treatment facility held special significance for King Charles III as it marked his first formal public appearance since his diagnosis. Joined by Queen Camilla, he took the opportunity to interact with patients and medical personnel, emphasizing the importance of cancer treatment and care. The King’s improved health and his readiness to resume his duties were highlighted in an official statement, in which His Majesty expressed his gratitude to his medical team for their continued care and expertise.

The public reaction to the news that Prince William would be taking on the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps has sparked speculation due to the strained relationship between Prince Harry and King Charles III. However, it is worth noting that Prince William has a long history of service in the armed forces, and the royal family has always had official relationships with various units of the forces.
Amidst the discussions surrounding the royal family, there has also been a focus on the relationship between King Charles III and his son Prince Harry. It is no secret that the public was disappointed when it was announced that Harry and the King would not be meeting during Harry’s visit to the UK. However, it is important to note that the King’s calendar was already full when he resumed his public duties.
While King Charles III’s health has been a concern, it is reassuring to know that he has remained actively engaged in his duties behind the scenes. Recently, he welcomed Fiji’s Prime Minister to Buckingham Palace and attended the season’s first garden party. These engagements demonstrate the King’s dedication to fulfilling his duties and supporting various causes.
In the midst of these events, Prince William also received a new title from King Charles III, and Princess Catherine was appointed as a Royal Companion. These announcements have garnered attention and sparked discussions online, highlighting the ongoing interest and support for the royal family.
The challenges and public scrutiny the royal family faces are undoubtedly significant, but they persist in fulfilling their duties and supporting various causes. The health and well-being of each member are of great concern to the public, and their actions are closely followed with hope and admiration.
