King Charles Says Cancer Treatment Will Be Reduced Next Year in Televised Message

Buckingham Palace says his care now enters a precautionary phase under continuous monitoring.

Overview

  • The pre-recorded address aired on Channel 4 as part of Cancer Research UK’s Stand Up To Cancer programming.
  • Palace officials said he has responded exceptionally well to treatment and will move to a precautionary phase with ongoing monitoring, with no claim he is cancer-free.
  • Charles urged the public to take up cancer screening, noting that at least nine million people in the UK are not up to date with available checks.
  • He endorsed a new Screening Checker tool to help adults confirm eligibility for national breast, bowel and cervical screening programs.
  • The short film was recorded at Clarence House in late November, and the Palace continues to withhold the specific cancer type, which it has said is not prostate cancer.
