King Charles ‘Coronation Grim Reaper’ resurfaces amid his cancer diagnosis

King Charles has been diagnosed with a ‘form of cancer’ nearly a week after he underwent a procedure to treat his enlarged prostrate.

The health update of the monarch was announced by the Buckingham Palace in statement. While the health scare sounds concerning, reports have suggested that the cancer has been caught in its “early stages.”

The monarch has also started “regular treatments” on Monday and his future engagements have been rescheduled and postponed while he recuperates.

However, many royal watchers have been reminded to the eerie moment from King Charles’s Coronation in May last year, when a grim reaper appeared during the live broadcast of the ceremony.

A mysterious cloaked figure could be seen in the live broadcast walking beneath the rood screen of the abbey, holding what appears to be a scythe.

The moment quickly sent royal watchers spiralling over theories that this might be a dangerous sign for the King’s reign.
