King Charles III will continue with his cancer treatment throughout 2025, almost a year after his diagnosis was made public. According to a source from Buckingham Palace cited by Sky News, the monarch has shown positive progress, although the treatment cycle will continue next year because the disease remains under control.
The same source stated that there is a "feeling of optimism" surrounding the king's health, who, despite his treatment, has maintained an active agenda and has committed to his public responsibilities. An example of this is his recent visit to Walthamstow, where, in a humorous tone, he joked about his condition by responding: "I'm still alive" when asked how he was feeling.
King Charles’ cancer treatment will continue in 2025
The king's diagnosis was announced in February 2024, shortly after undergoing a procedure for a benign prostate condition. It was then when doctors detected an additional problem that turned out to be a form of cancer, of which no further details have been provided.
After receiving the news, Carlos temporarily suspended his in-person commitments, but in April he resumed his activities, showing remarkable strength. Since then, he has participated in highly relevant events, such as the commemorations of D-Day in France, a state visit by the Emperor of Japan, and a tour of Australia and Samoa in the company of Queen Camilla.
All this while continuing with an outpatient treatment that, although prolonged, seems to be yielding good results. The British royal family has faced a particularly difficult year, as King Charles' battle against cancer is compounded by Kate Middleton's diagnosis.
The royal family is recovering from a complex year
Prince William recently described this period as "the most difficult year of his life" in an interview, highlighting the pride he feels for both his wife and his father, who have proven to be true warriors in the midst of this complex situation.
Despite the adversities, King Charles has shown his commitment to the Crown and his resilience in the face of illness. As he continues his treatment in 2025, the Royal House hopes that his health will continue to improve favorably, allowing the monarch to maintain his active role in public life.
