The monarch paid tribute to support groups for those with the disease and thanked the public for their good wishes
King Charles has spoken of his “lifelong admiration” for cancer charities and offered “heartfelt thanks” for messages of support received since he was diagnosed with cancer.
The king added that it was “heartening” that the announcement of his illness had helped shine a light on organisations supporting cancer patients and their families. Charities say the public focus on cancer has allowed them to highlight issues they had previously struggled to get attention for.
