It's been 18 months since Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer. Although The King has never disclosed exactly what type of cancer he's fighting, the 76-year-old monarch has kept up a busy schedule of public appearances—aside from being briefly hospitalized due to some treatment side effects. As the Royal Family returns to duties after their summer break at Balmoral, The King's former butler, Grant Harrold, has remarked on how Buckingham Palace has handled a tumultuous period.
Harrold—whose memoir, The Royal Butler: My Remarkable Life in Royal Service, launched in the U.K. last week—opened up to GB News at his recent book release party in London. "It’s good that they’ve been so open about it," the former butler said of The King's cancer battle. "That’s really unusual."
