King Charles

I’m so sorry to hear this and sincerely hope that the treatment he has will be successful in eradicating the cancer.

stated it is not prostate cancer though,

That announcement came from sources close to Harry not
Buckingham Palace

They have just said on the news that Harry will travel back to see his father 'in the coming days'.

I am very sad to hear it. For the reasons Whethertomorrow gives and also because I'm sorry for anyone receiving such a diagnosis.

I admire his openness, and I hope he will be all right. I wonder if he tried to persuade Catherine to be more open? Not that I think she should be if she doesn’t want to be.

I do hope our King has a full and speedy recovery

I wonder if Harry will now feel it's time to heal the rifts he has with his family? It must be upsetting for him to get this news, especially as he is (allegedly) estranged.

I'm not a royalist but I wish him well as I would anyone who gets this horrible diagnosis. My own husband has been through it, as have many on GN and their loved ones.

Wish him and well.

I feel so sorry for him. For all his wealth and position he has not really had a charmed life.

He had to wait nearly his entire life to become King, his first marriage was a disaster, his second son has turned out badly and his childhood and education were horrible. That image of him waiting in line to shake his mother’s hand after she had been away for months is still haunting.

I wish him well.

Sorry I said coolgran, should have beeb coolcoco.

I wish him well and hope everything goes according to plan.

Hopefully Harry will stop causing anymore stress to his father.

Well I’ve turned the news off as it’s just repeating the same old stuff. I do wish him well, I know from my own family how much a cancer diagnosis affects everyone, I don’t want this constant over discussion about every minute aspect of one persons life.

Ok to be open but can’t stand all the speculation, blathering on about who is taking over his duties etc This shouldn’t dominate the news. This is just toadying.

Doesn't your TV/radio have an 'off' switch then?

Change channels CoolCoco maybe watch a film.

I wish him well. I also do not agree with coolgran Could you explain why it is toadying? If more men are checked, his announcement can only be a good thing.

I think they said it was not prostate cancer but another cancer discovered when he was having prostate treatment.

I think this reinforces the message to men to get themselves checked out.

Charles will have the very best medical care and let's hope that he does well and makes a full recovery, as most cancer patients do now.

As you’re not interested Coolcoco why so many posts about something you’re not interested in 😂

I hope his cancer treatment will be successful. I think being open about his hospital stay is a good thing as it encourages the public to think about prostate enlargement.

I'm not a royalist but he is a human being, and his family are going through a rough time at the minute. I just feel sympathy for them.
I think it's right that we should know.
I wish him all the best with his treatment, just as I do anyone with cancer.

No one would 'toady' to the King. He wouldn't wish it.
Unkind right now, CoolCoco.

I hope any treatment he is receiving will be successful.

This explains why William is returning to Royal duties earlier than expected.

They haven’t said it was prostate cancer though have they? They’ve said they found a separate condition whilst doing the treatment for a benign condition, it’s all speculation and gossip. Yes, talking about cancer and encouraging checking is good, but the BBC news have only had this issue on for 10 minutes, you’d think there was nothing else happening in the world.

It’s not toadying. People will be genuinely shocked and concerned. I know I am.

There will be far less speculation I the palace are open about this.
