"Buckingham Palace said the King would talk about his "recovery journey" as a cancer patient, in a video message on Friday at 20:00 GMT. The message, recorded at Clarence House two weeks ago, will emphasise the importance of cancer screening checks to ensure more people catch the disease at an early stage. This will be a rare update on the health of King, who has been undergoing regular treatment since revealing his diagnosis in February 2024."
"But it is thought unlikely the King will identify his type of cancer. The Stand Up To Cancer campaign each year raises funds for medical research and treatment and encourages people to get check-ups to increase the chances of an early diagnosis. The King's relative openness about his illness, and living with cancer, has been intended to raise awareness and to get more people to get tested - and this will be taken a step further with this unusual personal contribution."
"So far the King's main approach to his cancer has been to keep working, maintaining a busy schedule despite his regular rounds of treatment, and he seems not to have wanted to be defined by his illness. This year has seen the King, 77, taking several overseas trips, including to Italy and Canada, and hosting the biggest number of inward state visits to the UK for almost 40 years, including the German president last week."
King Charles recorded a personal video message about his cancer recovery to be broadcast as part of the Stand Up To Cancer campaign on Channel 4 at 20:00 GMT. The message, filmed at Clarence House two weeks earlier, will stress the importance of cancer screening checks to detect disease at an early stage. The King has been undergoing regular treatment since revealing his diagnosis in February 2024 and is unlikely to identify the cancer type. The campaign raises funds for research and encourages check-ups. The King has continued official duties, travel and state hosting while remaining relatively open about living with cancer.
