One year after the prostate intervention, the king was hospitalized due to the care against cancer. Carlo will renounce the scheduled institutional commitments. But Buckingham Palace reassures: “Nothing serious”
“This morning, following the planned and ongoing medical treatment for cancer, the king expressed temporary side effects that requested a short period of observation in the hospital”. Thus begins a note released by Buckingham Palace. The United Kingdom is apprehensive for its sovereign. Carlo, under the advice of the specialists, canceled all the institutional commitments and went to the home of Clarence House. However, His Majesty wanted to send the excuses personally to “all those who may have been disappointed” by the incident. The royal agenda included meetings in the city of Birmingham which will be postponed to a later date.
In reality, the story began in February last year, when Carlo was diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer. The discovery had taken place following a prostate enlargement treatment. However, the king continued to carry on his activity and international travel without ever showing signs of failure. Indeed, in recent times His Majesty has fully entered the diplomatic scenarios that shake the world. He invited Donald Trump to Great Britain and continued to support Volodymyr Zelensky. He warmly welcomed Marks Carry, Canadian Prime Minister, and flew to Northern Ireland on an official visit. But not only. He had also planned to go to the Vatican by Pope Francis. Deciding to give up not for his health but for the precarious conditions of the Holy Father.
“The king is doing what he likes most, that is to be around,” Robert Hardman, author of numerous books on the royal family, told BBC. Buckingham Palace, for its part, continues to reassure the subjects and speaks of a “small obstacle on a road that is definitely going in the right direction”. In short, no dramas. Carlo is fine and will return. The English tabloids, however, continue to question the matter.
Why have it so little transparency on Carlo’s real conditions? With the risk that even insignificant events can turn into unnecessary alarmisms. It should be remembered that until now the type of cancer that afflicts his majesty has never been revealed. Even when the pathology was discovered, the official announcements seemed contradictory. The king had undergone surgery at the London Clinic together with the Princess of Wales, his daughter -in -law. Once left the hospital, it was said that both were well and that the treatments had proved to be a success. In reality, shortly afterwards both cancer was discovered. In short, a veil of mystery continues to wrap the real buildings. But this is certainly not new. And it doesn’t just concern Windsor’s family. It often happens when it comes to the health of important characters or who enjoy worldwide. Nonetheless, the expressions of solidarity and closeness are multiplying with the passing of the hours. The first was the British premier Keir Starmer. While King Carlo will continue his care, intent on not giving up his commitments. God save the king.
