King Charles

It's been more than a year since King Charles was diagnosed with cancer. Following a brief hiatus from public engagements, the monarch resumed his royal duties and appeared to be a good spirits. In fact, he has since participated in VE Day celebrations and marked a milestone wedding anniversary with Queen Camilla. But the king rarely speaks out about his cancer treatment these days. So, you could imagine my surprise when I caught wind of his recent remark about his health journey.

According to Hello! magazine, King Charles recently paid a visit to Impact Hub Yorkshire in Little Germany, Bradford, to meet with local business owners. And when he met with florist Safeena Khan, she inquired about his health. She recalled, "He asked me how I was, and I asked him how he was."

Khan then explained that he responded to her with a thumbs-up gesture when she asked about his health. He told her, "I’d like to think I’m on the better side [of my cancer journey].”
