King Charles’ senior aide issued a major update about the monarch’s cancer journey after Prince Harry expressed his concerns about his father’s health.
GB reported that the King’s new Keeper of the Privy Purse spoke at the annual Sovereign Grant briefing on Monday, where he praised the commitment and resilience of William and Harry’s papa.
While presenting royal finances for the year ending March 31, James Chalmers lauded King Charles’ “personal commitment to duty.
He added, “The King demonstrated remarkable resilience by undertaking a wide programme of public and state duties at home and overseas while continuing to receive treatment.”
For the unversed, Buckingham Palace announced King Charles’ cancer diagnosis in February 2024. The monarch returned to public-facing duties in April of the same year, the period in which finances were included in the Sovereign Grant Report.
James talked about the financial year as “something of a return to normal business after the health challenges faced by members of the family in the previous fiscal year.”
Despite undergoing treatment to cure his undisclosed form of cancer, the royal family’s aide said that the King’s only focus was his “personal commitment to duty, but also the adaptability and resilience of the Royal Household in ensuring continuity of service, no matter the personal circumstances.”
It is also important to note that Princess Catherine also revealed her cancer diagnosis during the same time, leaving royal fans deeply concerned about her and the King.
However, the future Queen is in remission from cancer after undergoing preventative chemotherapy. On the other hand, King Charles is still receiving medical treatment.
