King Charles III faces cancer with bravery, bequeaths duty to William

King Charles, alongside Prince William, recently visited a military air unit. During this visit, the monarch transferred a role previously held by Harry to his son. King Charles took this opportunity to share insights into his illness.

The attention of royal family enthusiasts often centres on Duchess Kate and King Charles III. For months, they have been navigating cancer treatment. Unlike his daughter-in-law, the monarch has been vocal about his illness, aiming to raise cancer awareness.

King Charles is gradually resuming his royal duties. He and his eldest son visited the Military Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop, where he bestowed a duty upon Prince William. It was then he disclosed his current health status.

According to the Daily Mail, Prince William and King Charles III met with British army veteran Aaron Mapplebeck, who, like the monarch, had undergone chemotherapy a year prior. Mapplebeck shared that he had lost his sense of taste due to the treatment, a fate the son of Queen Elizabeth II also faces. The king relayed to Mapplebeck that he is also dealing with this side effect.

The British royal family consistently captures the public's imagination, especially amid controversies and dramas. In a move that appears to sideline Prince Harry again, the leadership of 662 Squadron of the Army Air Corps was officially transferred to Prince William. In a ceremonial gesture, King Charles III presented him with a beret and a belt.
