King Charles III has recorded what has been described as a “personal message” regarding his cancer diagnosis and recovery which will be played in a ground-breaking broadcast in the United Kingdom this evening.
His majesty’s important address will be shown as part of the “Stand Up To Cancer 2025” campaign, which is a joint endeavor by the Cancer Research UK charity and British television station Channel 4.
Charles, 77, was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer back in early 2024 â less than two years after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died with the disease, and in the same year his daughter-in-law, Catherine, Princess of Wales, discovered she had it. He has been receiving weekly treatment ever since, which, thankfully, seems to be working.
The monarch has bravely continued to work throughout his treatment and recovery, and has embarked on five state visits in 2025 year alone. He will now take the opportunity to help others in their potential cancer battles.
Charles Will Stress the Importance of Cancer Screening
GettyIn his message, which will air at 8 p.m. GMT on Channel 4’s hugely important flagship evening of programming, Charles will stress how crucial cancer screening programmes are in enabling early diagnosis and will openly “reflect on his own recovery journey” (per the Daily Mail).
The aim of this year’s Stand Up To Cancer event, in addition to raising awareness of the huge importance of diagnosing the horrible disease early, is to raise critical funding for cancer research, cancer charities, and those individuals affected by cancer.
The King’s message was recorded a couple of weeks ago in the last few days of November, in Clarence House’s Morning Room, and will air shortly before a live broadcast from a cancer clinic at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge. The unique broadcast will be presented by popular television personality Davina McCall, 58, who recently battled breast cancer herself.
Charles’ Message Is a Major Break From Tradition
GettyCharles’ message represents a major break from tradition regarding communications on medical matters within the British monarchy. Until now, Buckingham Palace has opted to keep the nature of the King’s cancer and treatment private, although they have confirmed that it isn’t prostate-related. His diagnosis in February 2024 had come after he went into hospital for routine surgery for an enlarged prostate.
Since his diagnosis, Charles has visited fellow cancer sufferers in various hospitals, including at the new Midland Metropolitan University Hospital in Birmingham earlier this year. He spoke candidly to the patients about his own experiences with the disease, and it looks like he may do the same on a wider scale this evening.
Charles has been busy of late, with some of his most recent duties being Christmas-related. For instance, he attended an Advent Service at Westminster Abbey on December 10. However, he also hosted as “audience with” event at Buckingham Palace on December 11. It all points towards him being healthy, which is wonderful to see.
We wish him all the very best in his continued recovery.
