For the first time, King Charles III has revealed that he has experienced side effects from his cancer treatment. The revelation was made during an interview with British Army veteran Aaron Mapplebeck at the Army Flying Museum.
During the conversation, Aaron shared his own experience of losing his sense of taste due to cancer treatment. This prompted King Charles to open up about his own struggles with losing a sense. This is the first time the King has publicly addressed the side effects of his treatment, although the specifics of his diagnosis and treatment remain unknown.
The King’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, and on May 13, 2024, he formally assigned Prince William the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps.
The visit to the cancer treatment facility held special significance for King Charles, as it was his first formal public appearance after his diagnosis. During the visit, he and Queen Camilla interacted 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. His Majesty expressed his gratitude to his medical team for their continued care and expertise.
The King’s niece, Princess Eugenie, has been asked about her uncle’s health today.

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 generated 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 and his son Prince Harry. 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’s health has been a concern, he has been actively engaged in his duties behind the scenes. He recently welcomed Fiji’s Prime Minister to Buckingham Palace and attended the season’s first garden party.
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 garnered attention and led to discussions online.
It is clear that while the royal family faces challenges and public scrutiny, they continue to fulfill their duties and support various causes. The health and well-being of each member are of concern to the public, and their actions are closely followed.
