Ammon News - King Charles III is opening up about the impact of his cancer diagnosis in an emotional new statement.

The British monarch, 76, used the message to share his experiences of the disease, which he said showed him "the very best of humanity." The statement was issued to attendees of an April 30 reception that Charles and wife Queen Camilla hosted to highlight the work of cancer support groups and charities.

"Each diagnosis, each new case, will be a daunting and at times frightening experience for those individuals and their loved ones," he said in the message published by Buckingham Palace. "But as one among those statistics myself, I can vouch for the fact that it can also be an experience that brings into sharp focus the very best of humanity."

Charles also thanked charities for their work to raise funds for research and reflected on the value of the human connection they offer patients in times of need. USA Today
