King Charles shares major cancer update amid abdication plan

King Charles publicly released important information about his cancer treatment amid growing speculations about abdication plans.

The monarch honoured his personal medical team by sharing the names of his doctors, who have been helping him in a 'brutal' cancer journey.

According to Hello!, the King included two members of his medical team in his New Year Honours list.

The monarch's "GP, Dr. Douglas Glass, otherwise known as the apothecary to the King, and his physician, Professor Richard Leach, have both been recognised for their personal service to the monarch and the royal family."

It is important to note that Buckingham Palace first announced King Charles' cancer diagnosis in February 2024. However, every other detail including the form of cancer has been kept under wraps. 

As of now, a Palace insider revealed that the King's cancer treatment is going in a "positive direction," and his medical procedure will continue in 2025. 

At the end of King Charles and Queen Camilla's headline-making Australia and Samoa tour, a Palace official said, "We’re now working on a pretty normal-looking, full overseas tour program for next year."

"Which is a high for us to end on, to know that we can be thinking in those terms, subject to signoff by doctors," the source added. 

It is important to note the King's rare cancer update came after insiders claimed that the Palace has been preparing Prince William and Princess Kate to take over the throne.
