Discussion about the Coronation of King Charles III - 6 May 2023 - and further news on British Royal Family

[nhmemorymaker]

The King is to deliver a personal message to the nation about his cancer.

He has recorded a television broadcast from the Morning Room at Clarence House about his “recovery journey”, alongside a plea for early cancer screening.

The video message, filmed at the end of November, will be aired on Channel 4 at 8pm on Friday as part of Stand Up To Cancer 2025, a joint campaign with Cancer Research UK.

The King was expected to stress the importance of cancer screening programmes in enabling early diagnosis and reflect on his own recovery journey, Buckingham Palace said.

Wonder if Charles is going to step down at some point and pass the kingship to William?

William is ready to be king.

It is hard to imagine how it feels, at the age of 74, to actually "start the job" you were born to do.

"He told Radio 4's Today programme:

'We have come a long way but where we are now
is that the King is able to say in those very warm, gentle, thoughtful, kind terms
'I have this cancer.
I am living with this cancer
and I am continuing my very busy schedule all this time
and now mercifully for me and also my schedulers
I can have less time spent obeying doctors' orders'.

King Charles was diagnosed by chance in February 2024 after being admitted to hospital for routine surgery for an enlarged prostate.

Britain’s Queen Camilla has described for the first time fighting off an attack by a man on a train when she was a teenager, speaking in an interview with the BBC in which she recounted how furious the assault had left her.

“When I was a teenager, I was attacked on a train … I remember at the time being so angry,” she said during a discussion broadcast on Wednesday about violence against women.

“I was reading my book and you know this boy — man — attacked me, and I did fight back.”...

"King Charles and Queen Camilla​

'greatly saddened' by Swiss club fire.​

King Charles said in a statement today:

'My wife and I were appalled, and greatly saddened,
to learn of the devastating fire last night in Crans-Montana, in Switzerland.

It is utterly heartbreaking that a night of celebration for young people and families
instead turned to such nightmarish tragedy.

While offering our admiration for the heroic first responders and the selfless emergency services,
we wanted, above all, to convey our deepest possible sympathy to all those who have been so dreadfully affected by this horrific disaster.

Our most heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the loved ones of all those who have so tragically lost their lives
and with those who remain in a critical condition in hospital'."

"Marking the fifth anniversary of her Reading Room,
Queen Camilla said:

'Five years ago,
I founded a book club in lockdown,
in the hope that others might derive as much enjoyment from good literature as I do.

Since those humble beginnings,
that book club has grown into a global charity,
supporting a community of book lovers, united by a shared belief in the power of reading'.

'I am so proud of what my charity has achieved,
reaching millions of people,
staging remarkable events
and partnering with incredible organisations
to bring books to people who need them most'."
