King Charles fighting something bigger than cancer?
King Charles III reportedly sparks a wave of concern

King Charles, who has been fighting cancer since last year, has sparked a wave of concern after his new images were caught on camera inside Buckingham Palace.
For the unversed, during the COP30 climate summit in London, the 76-year-old monarch's appearance was noticeably frail.
As reported by Radar Online, in spite of palace officials maintaining that the King is "doing well", a senior royal aide, however, acknowledged that the images have caused alarm behind the scenes.
In this regard, one insider said #ShuterScoop that the King looked like a man fighting something bigger than he's letting on.
Insiders suggest that his health challenges may be taking a visible toll as one senior courtier revealed, "They're quietly preparing William to step up — fast."
According to the insiders, the illusion of “perfect health is collapsing”.
"You can't Photoshop frailty," said one palace insider said, adding, "What we're seeing is the reality behind the crown — a monarch in decline."
King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer in February 2024, after undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate. The specific type of his cancer hasn't been publicly disclosed.
