Earlier this year, the King received a difficult diagnosis - cancer. As the year comes to a close, it has been reported that his treatment will continue into the New Year. According to sources in the Palace, there has been progress in his treatment and it will be managed into the next year. Despite this, there is a sense of positivity surrounding the King, as seen in his desire to remain busy and carry out public engagements during the Christmas season.
In February, it was announced that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer and had started treatment. From the beginning, the King made the personal decision to share his diagnosis and experience with the hope of helping others. However, he has chosen not to disclose the type of cancer he is battling in order to avoid taking away from the significance of other forms of the illness. The specific type of treatment he has undergone is also unknown, but he has been making regular trips to London for private appointments.
It has been a tough year for the Royal family, with both the King and the Princess of Wales being diagnosed with cancer. Prince William has described it as the hardest year of his life, calling his experience dreadful. When asked about his year, he replied that it had been brutal, but he was proud of his wife and father for handling their own challenges.
Despite the difficulties, the King and Queen are set to carry out their last public engagement of the year, meeting with members of the local community in Waltham Forest. This visit is a way for them to express their gratitude to the community for their response to the violent disorder that occurred in the summer. They will meet with volunteers, young people, emergency services, and faith representatives to celebrate the true community spirit of the borough.
Waltham Forest has been recognized as a Borough of Sanctuary, meaning it values and celebrates the migrants, refugees, and people seeking sanctuary who have made it their home. This visit is a way for the King and Queen to show their support and appreciation for the diverse community.
In addition to his public duties, the King has also faced criticism this week for not sending out a festive enough Christmas card. Some have suggested that he should have at least put on a Santa hat. However, in the midst of his treatment and other challenges, it is understandable that the King may not have had the energy or desire to participate in traditional holiday festivities.
