For the first time, King Charles III has publicly revealed that he has experienced side effects from his cancer treatment. During an interview with British Army veteran Aaron Mapplebeck at the Army Flying Museum, the King shared his struggles with losing a sense, prompted by Aaron’s own experience of losing his sense of taste due to cancer treatment.
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, highlighting his improved health and readiness to resume his responsibilities.
During a visit to a cancer treatment facility, the King and Queen Camilla interacted with patients and medical personnel, emphasizing the importance of cancer treatment and care. This visit held special significance for King Charles, as it was his first formal public appearance after his diagnosis.
The King expressed his gratitude to his medical team for their continued care and expertise, and his improved health has been highlighted in an official statement. Princess Eugenie, the King’s niece, has also provided reassuring news about his health, stating that he is “doing well” during a charity promotion event.
The recent announcement that Prince William will 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’s important to note 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.
The King’s niece, Princess Eugenie, has been asked about her uncle’s health today.

In addition to the discussions surrounding the royal family, there has been a focus on the relationship between King Charles and Prince Harry. Although the public was disappointed when it was announced that they would not be meeting during Harry’s visit to the UK, it is worth noting that the King’s calendar was already full when he resumed his public duties.
Behind the scenes, King Charles has been actively engaged in his duties. He welcomed Fiji’s Prime Minister to Buckingham Palace and attended the season’s first garden party. The recent announcement of Prince William’s new title from King Charles III and Princess Catherine’s appointment as a Royal Companion has also garnered attention and sparked discussions online.
Despite facing challenges and public scrutiny, the royal family continues 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.
