King Charles is on his way back to Sandringham after undergoing further cancer treatment in London. According to the Daily Mail, the monarch gave a friendly wave to royal fans as he left. He had previously spent 24 hours in the capital.
The 75-year-old landed in the royal helicopter yesterday after spending a week in Norfolk recovering from the news of his cancer diagnosis. We then went to the nearby official headquarters, Clarence House. At his side was Queen Camilla.
On Saturday, Charles spoke out for the first time since his illness and thanked everyone for their support. “As every cancer sufferer knows, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement,” Charles wrote in a lengthy statement on the royal family’s Instagram account.
He was pleased that his cancer diagnosis had helped “to promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all those organizations that support cancer patients and their families in the UK and around the world,” it said.
On February 5, 2024, the royal family announced that Charles was suffering from “a form of cancer.” Exactly what the disease was was not communicated. The cancer was discovered during tests during a hospital stay in London. Charles underwent prostate surgery. But it is not prostate cancer, the royal family made it clear.
Now the king goes back to the Sandringham country estate, where he continues to recover. On medical advice, Charles should initially not attend any public appointments or make any appearances, the palace said. He wants to continue to take care of state business.
