King Charles has shared a moving and emotional update on his battle with cancer.

Now 76, the monarch spoke candidly about his condition, offering heartfelt words just over a year after first receiving his diagnosis.

On April 30, Buckingham Palace welcomed fellow cancer survivors for a special event honoring the vital work of grassroots cancer charities. The occasion recognized those making a difference in the lives of the nearly 390,000 people diagnosed with cancer in the UK each year.

In a touching message, Charles expressed his gratitude to those who dedicate themselves to offering care and support.

“Each diagnosis, each new case, will be a daunting and at times frightening experience for those individuals and their loved ones,” he wrote.
