Today, Buckingham Palace officially confirmed that King Charles III has begun his second round of chemotherapy as part of his ongoing treatment for cancer. The news was personally shared by the King in a heartfelt statement to the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. “With a heavy heart, I wish to share that I am entering the next stage of my treatment,” the King said. “My medical team has recommended continuing chemotherapy to further manage my condition. It is not an easy journey, but I remain hopeful and trust completely in those caring for me.”
According to the Palace, the initial round of treatment was met with positive signs, with the King responding well to the prescribed therapy. However, doctors have advised further sessions to ensure continued control over the disease and to prevent any further spread of cancerous cells. “Though my body may feel the strain, my spirit is strong,” His Majesty stated. “I am deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support I have received. Your prayers, letters, and kind words have meant more to me than I can ever express.” The Royal Family has rallied closely around the King, especially Queen Camilla and Prince William. Sources close to the Palace say the Prince of Wales has taken on additional responsibilities to support his father during this time. Public and political reactions to the King’s statement have been swift and compassionate. World leaders have sent messages of support, and people across the country are once again uniting in hope for His Majesty’s recovery. Despite the challenges, King Charles continues to embody grace, resilience, and duty—traits that have long been admired by the British public. As he faces this second round of chemotherapy, the nation stands behind him, praying for strength and healing.
