Ammon News - The King has spoken candidly about his cancer treatment saying he would like to think he is on the “better side” of his journey.

Charles comments were made to a former cancer patient he met during an away-day with the Queen to Bradford to celebrate its status as the UK’s City of Culture.

The King has been receiving ongoing cancer care for about 15 months since he was diagnosed with an undisclosed from of the disease early in 2024.

Florist Safeena Khan spoke to Charles when he visited Impact Hub Yorkshire to meet local business owners supporting diverse communities in Bradford and she presented the King with a bouquet inspired by the garden of his Highgrove home.

After chatting to Charles, Ms Khan said: “He asked me how I was, and I asked him how he was. There was some pleasantries towards the end, but it was a lovely conversation.”

The King undergoes regular treatment as an out-patient at the London Clinic and the Bradford florist said he gave her the “thumbs up” when she asked about his health, and told her: “I’d like to think I’m on the better side (of my cancer journey)”.

The King stepped up his workload at the start of the year following positive progress with his cancer treatment and that has continued despite the “bump” of spending a short stay in hospital after experiencing temporary cancer treatment side effects in March.

Charles will be flying to Canada for the opening of the Commonwealth country’s parliament at the end of May and after a busy summer period will be hosting a state visit by France’s President Emmanuel Macron when the royal diary is normally winding down. Independent
