After all that he’s been through, is this really how King Charles’ reign will end?
Buckingham Palace announced this in February last year Charles had cancerBut officials did not give any specific information regarding the severity of his condition or the organs affected.
The same happened for Kate Middleton when she announced her cancer diagnosis. For whatever reason, the royal family has decided to keep their terms under their hats – or, under their crowns, if you will.
However, insiders claim that Charles’ prognosis is an “open secret” among royal staff, and that those close to him know the type of cancer he is battling.
And he is, indeed, for the fight of his life.
King Charles’ pancreatic cancer diagnosis: What will it mean for his future?
According to a report of in touchKing Charles was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given only two years to live.
Charles was reportedly diagnosed earlier this year after undergoing surgery for an enlarged prostate.
We should note that In touch The report has not been confirmed by Buckingham Palace or any other media outlet.
The report also claims that Charles plans to undergo treatment to “extend his life” and will continue to take partial breaks from his royal duties.
Pancreatic is one of the deadliest forms of cancer, and has claimed the lives of public figures such as Steve Jobs, Alex Trebek and Patrick Swayze.
Charles, of course, waited 73 years to become king, and his commitment to his royal duties is the stuff of legend.
So it’s no surprise that he plans to continue working despite his recent – and reportedly quite serious – health problems.
An insider says, “Charles is putting on some appearances not only to dispel the wild conspiracy theories and false reports of his death, but to reassure the public that he is still fit to carry out his duties as king.
The source adds that Charles is “obeying doctors’ orders and willing to try any treatment to extend his life for at least a few more years.”
Palace officials have confirmed that Charles has cancer and plans to continue working, but have said little about his condition.
“His Majesty began a schedule of regular treatments today, during which he has been advised by doctors to postpone public engagements,” the palace statement said.
How is King Charles feeling now?
“Throughout this period, His Majesty will carry on state business and official paperwork as usual.”
“His aides can tell that Charles is still concerned about his legacy,” shares another insider, adding that the royal head “concerns himself.”
Charles’ wife, Camilla, his sister, Anne and his son William are all taking on extra royal duties to pick up the slack for the ailing monarch.
But as the year progressed, His Royal Highness made several high-profile appearances. In fact, despite his condition, Charles attended more royal events this year than his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, who was also diagnosed with an undiagnosed cancer. (Kate is now in remission.)
A royal family in crisis
Ever since Kate and Charles were both diagnosed, the royal family has been plagued by rumours.
Both royals have become the subject of conspiracy theories, with Kate taking the brunt of it. In fact, it was wild conspiracy theories ranging from William’s infidelity to talk of bulimia that finally forced Kate to reveal she had cancer.
Meanwhile, social media users actually blamed it Charles had passed awayAnd his death was being kept a secret by Buckingham Palace.
The palace denied the rumor with a quick statement saying, “We are pleased to confirm that the King is continuing official private business.”
But keeping the nature of her cancer so quiet has become a cause for concern, almost a year later, that same concern is growing.
Especially if this report turns out to be true.
