King Charles shocked royal fans when he announced his cancer diagnosis in February 2024 following a procedure for an enlarged prostate. Although the palace has never specified what type of cancer he has—other than clarifying that it's not prostate cancer—The King has made a few brief comments about his health battle while keeping up a busy schedule of royal engagements. Fifteen months into treatment, the monarch has given a rare—and encouraging—update on his health.
The King spoke with a former cancer patient while visiting the city of Bradford with Queen Camilla on Thursday, May 15, and florist Safeena Khan shared the details of their conversation (via the Mirror). Khan—who gave King Charles a bouquet of flowers inspired by his garden at Highgrove House—met the monarch along with other local business owners at Impact Hub Yorkshire.
