The British Royal family recently had a close shave with both King Charles and Princess Kate Middleton being diagnosed with cancer. Though both are recuperating and have been reported to be in good health, there’s another disheartening news making the headlines lately.
Sources indicated that despite returning to royal duties shortly after his cancer diagnosis, King Charles’s health is not exactly in good condition. The yet undisclosed type of cancer has sparked worry among friends and palace insiders. Meanwhile, sources suggested that there have been talks of his funeral arrangements. Here’s what the insider spilled.

King Charles bravely addressed his health updates in February when he announced his cancer diagnosis. A few months later, Kate Middleton also announced her diagnosis after a long absence that prominently made headlines for a while. Though the monarch has been quite consistent with his health updates, sources now suggest that his health is deteriorating.
Tom Sykes of the Daily Beast reported on Thursday that there have been some frequent discussions about the king’s health, with sources indicating that the situation is “not good.” “Speaking to friends of the king in recent weeks about his health, the most common response is … ‘It’s not good,’” Sykes said.
The report also additionally suggested that his health has prompted a review of the king’s funeral plans, codenamed “Operation Menai Bridge.” It further claimed that lessons from Queen Elizabeth’s funeral are being assessed for possible reference in the near future.
The monarch has time and again made it clear that he intends to overcome the illness. Reports until much after his diagnosis also affirmed that all efforts to combat cancer were promptly underway.
However, insiders have now revealed that the king is facing significant health challenges, possibly more severe than have been officially acknowledged. “Everyone is staying optimistic, but he is really very unwell. More than they are letting on,” they said.

King Charles’s weakening situation has also sparked tensions among Kate Middleton and Prince William as the official heirs of the throne. Royal scribe Tina Brown opened up about the impact of Charles’ health struggles on Prince William and Kate Middleton, hinting at their concerns about ascending the throne sooner than anticipated.
“The prospect of it, I am told, is causing them intense anxiety,” she was quoted as saying by PEOPLE. While Buckingham Palace has not yet commented on the recent reports, the king has made occasional public appearances, including attending Easter services and recent events commemorating his late mother’s birthday.
The 75-year-old king underwent surgery earlier this year for a benign prostate enlargement, during which the cancer diagnosis was discovered. A statement noted that he would be undergoing “regular treatment” and is “advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.” Concerned masses now await an official statement on the matter.
