Overview
- In a pre-recorded message for Channel 4’s Stand Up To Cancer 2025, the king reported encouraging progress and said his regimen could be reduced in the new year.
- He urged people to attend screenings, calling early diagnosis life‑saving and highlighting that millions in the UK are not up to date with available tests.
- Buckingham Palace continues to withhold clinical specifics, confirming only that the malignancy was discovered in early 2024 during treatment for an enlarged prostate and is not prostate cancer.
- The video was recorded at Clarence House in late November and formed part of a campaign produced with Cancer Research UK to drive awareness and fundraising.
- Despite weekly therapy since early 2024, the 77‑year‑old monarch has maintained official duties through 2025, and his public disclosure marks a notable break from royal medical secrecy.
