King Charles is a man of the people.The monarch announced he was battling cancer back in February, but deliberately decided not to disclose which type he had been diagnosed with.
On Friday, The Times cited a source from Buckingham Palace who claimed that choice was grounded in empathy. “The King’s decision not to reveal the type of cancer was a conscious choice to be able to reach out to the widest number of people who are experiencing the disease, rather than narrow the focus onto a particular form of cancer,” they stated.
Although Buckingham Palace did confirm earlier this year that the king, 76, does not have prostate cancer, Charles has not revealed any further details.
The lack of specificity has sparked widespread speculation and theories on social media, but the royal doesn’t feel pressured to share further information.
