Breaking: King Charles ‘Sending Love To All’ In New Message Honoring World Cancer Day….See More

King Charles III and the royal family are “sending love” to all those fighting cancer, even as the king navigates his own battle with the disease.

The British monarch and Queen Camilla recognized World Cancer Day on Tuesday (February 4) in a new message and video shared to social media highlighting a number of organizations working to support those with cancer, including Macmillan Cancer Support, which Charles has been a patron of since 1997, and Cancer Research U.K., which the king has been patron of since April 2024, per People.

“This World Cancer Day, we are sending love to all those navigating a cancer diagnosis — as well as the incredible doctors, nurses, charities and families who work tirelessly to support them,” the post reads.

The video included statements from medical professionals, Olympic athletes and cancer survivors, such as broadcaster Adele Roberts, who encouraged people to ask for help after her own “overwhelming” battle with bowel cancer.

“Don’t be afraid to ask for help, and if you can, do something every day that makes you truly happy,” she said. “When I was diagnosed with bowel cancer, it was overwhelming. I knew I couldn’t control what it did to my body, but I was determined not to let it affect my spirit. You’ve got this. Lots of love.”

The monarch wasn’t the only member of the royal family who shared a message in honor of World Cancer Day. On Monday (February 3), Kate Middleton shared an inspirational message and powerful new photo taken by her and Prince William’s youngest son Prince Louis.

The World Cancer Day message from the king and queen comes nearly one year after Buckingham Palace announced Charles’ own cancer diagnosis on February 5, 2024. In December, the Palace shared that his treatment would continue into the new year and was “moving in a positive direction.”
