King Charles III has stunned guests at a New York Gala with a rare and candid admission regarding his own mortality.
The 77-year-old monarch, who is currently undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, told a star-studded audience that he would not live to see the 'long-distant future'. His remarks were made during a poignant speech at Christie's auction house as part of the 'Greater Together' event, marking a significant moment in his first US state visit as Sovereign.
