Rumor is that King Charles is "very unwell" [View all]

same rumor floating through the rumor mill

King Charles III’s health is worrying friends and the palace as he continues to battle an undisclosed type of cancer.

“Speaking to friends of the king in recent weeks about his health, the most common response is … ‘It’s not good,'” Tom Sykes of the Daily Beast reported Thursday.

A friend of the monarch claimed Charles “is determined to beat it and they are throwing everything at it,” adding, “Everyone is staying optimistic, but he is really very unwell. More than they are letting on.”
