King Charles' Cancer Battle Is Looking Grim
Although King Charles was first diagnosed with cancer back in February 2024, the palace has been pretty hush-hush when it comes to developments on the king's health. Nonetheless, he has continued living his life as usual and performing his royal duties, including a trip to Canada earlier this year.
Despite attempts to make it look like King Charles is completely unfazed by his illness, that may not be the case behind the scenes.
Reporter Camilla Tominey has a solid track record when it comes to royal drama. She broke the story that Prince Harry was dating Meghan Markle, and the story about the couple's rift with Kate Middleton. Now, she has written in The Telegraph that the king "may die 'with' cancer, but not 'of' cancer following a rigorous treatment programme." Her wording suggests that King Charles' cancer is ultimately incurable. However, it also suggests that those in the royals' inner circle firmly believe the disease won't do in the 76-year-old monarch anytime soon.

Privately, the king is finding ways to keep himself busy beyond his royal obligations. Believe it or not, he is an avid watercolor painter, and he even sells his creations on his foundation's official online store. The pieces are available in lithographs, trinket boxes, silk scarves, and even jigsaw puzzles. Prices range from $14 for a pack of greeting cards featuring paintings of Highgrove House's sanctuary to $10,000 for a framed lithograph of the house's terrace garden.
"He knows he is in the twilight of his life," a source told RadarOnline, "and some of the compositions are pretty melancholy given the serious position he is in with this cancer diagnosis." They added, "He is channeling the grief and pain he is feeling into his art."
It's unclear if King Charles' declining health will lead to a reconciliation with Prince Harry. According to The Telegraph, the king doesn't answer the Duke of Sussex's calls, and Harry hasn't gotten any updates on his father's ongoing cancer treatment.
