King Charles received a heartwarming response from well-wishers after his cancer diagnosis was made public. Buckingham Palace shared a video and photos of the monarch reading through thousands of cards and letters sent to him. One card that caught his attention featured a humorous message about not having to wear a cone, which brought a smile to his face.

The card's designer, Lisa Stalker, expressed her delight at seeing the King enjoy her creation. She mentioned that the card was intended to bring a smile to people's faces, and it clearly succeeded in doing so. The sender of the card, Lisa Moffat, aimed to boost the King's spirits and provide a moment of laughter during a challenging time.

King Charles, in a recent meeting with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, shared his gratitude for the overwhelming support he has received. The Correspondence Team at Buckingham Palace revealed that they had received over 7,000 letters and cards from around the world, offering well wishes, advice, and personal experiences with cancer.

Despite canceling most in-person duties, King Charles has made efforts to be visible when possible. He has been staying at the Sandringham estate but has traveled to London for treatment and meetings. His wife, Queen Camilla, has been by his side during church services at St. Mary Magdalene Church.

Prince Harry also spoke about his father's health, emphasizing his love for his family and the importance of spending time with his father during this challenging period. The royal family continues to appreciate the outpouring of support and kindness from well-wishers worldwide.
