King Charles diagnosed with cancer

I hope so too. He has had such a frustrating life, spending 75 years training for the job that he only got when beyond the age when most people have retired. And now this.

Let’s hope he responds well to treatment, and he surely will have access to the very latest medical advancements.

Given the speed at which prince Harry flew from the States to London, I am quite concerned. I had a feeling he wouldn’t reign for very long, but this is even faster than I expected.

I believe Buckingham Palace will have to make an announcement soon, to bring the people along in the process.

Given his age I'm not that bothered to be honest. I'm more concerned about Kate's recent health scare.

My missus has me visiting doctors and clinics here on a regular basis. On Monday we were at her old neighbour's doctor surgery to show her our recent annual blood test results. After the missus told her all about my eating, smoking and drinking habits I was waiting to hear the worst. Maria the doc studied them took notes then turned to me and said they were perfect. Then jokingly said in English ''carry on smoking drinking ad eating wat you want!!'' just to annoy my missus.

She admitted she used to be a heavy smoker herself before giving it up so knows how hard it is.

I don't understand your point.

Maybe I could have worded it better. He's 75 so for me anyway it's not really a surprise. Kate on the other hand is much younger with kids.

And yet she is not the King, and head of the country.

I like Charlie but that matters not a jot to me.

Not a big fan of Charles, but I sure hope he does get better

They will tell their grandchildren about the chance encounter.

Is GBN connected to the Mirror Group? Surely not a top-tier journalistic organization, if they use 5 minutes of air time interviewing the King’s former butler for his professional medical insights into the Royal Family’s health and relationships -

That's not so good.

Quote from Bombonera

Well that has blind-sided everyone in as much as every other possibility was speculated about but not that.

The whole thing should have been handled better and sooner though.

I wish her the best but don't understand the timing of communication about it given how toxic the speculation became

The timing is all wrong - they are hiding something.

It has taken her three months to tell her kids?

Chemotherapy with a full head of hair?

They are full of bullshit...

I do hope she gets better but they really should treat people with more respect and tell them the truth at all times
