King Charles’ Cancer Gets Devastating Update Amid Reports He ‘Refused’ Chemotherapy: He’s ‘Indeed a Sick Man’
Rumors about the health of King Charles have run rampant over the last few weeks. First, it was due to the King skipping Pope Francis’ funeral, which Prince William attended in his stead. Then, when that was explained away by protocol, there was also the fact that it was confirmed the King would also not be attending Pope Leo’s Inauguration. Add to that recent reports of the King’s ill health, and Prince Harry’s latest interview where he suggested he wanted to make up with his father while there was still time, and it seems like there’s reason to worry about King Charles’ health.
”Charles is indeed a sick man, and he does have cancer,” an insider told NewsNationNow. “He also refused chemotherapy and decided on a less invasive treatment. While Harry and his dad aren’t speaking, Harry would be aware of all of this via back channels.”

This comes as European Editor-at-Large at the Daily Beast, Tom Sykes, revealed on the outlet’s podcast that “succession plans are gearing up” as “no one is really expecting Charles to live, you know, more than three or four years.”
But all of this could actually lead to a reconciliation, or at least, a meeting between father and son. Though reports indicate that Prince William has harsh plans for Prince Harry when he takes the throne, things still seem to be at a point where they can be fixed with King Charles, particularly as the King is interested in having a relationship with his grandchildren.
“It’s no secret William wants Harry more harshly dealt with. He thinks he has betrayed the family from top to bottom, which is the ultimate Windsor crime. It wouldn’t take much to provoke him to flex his muscles when he is king,” a palace insider told The Daily Beast. But Prince William is not King yet, and reports indicate a meeting between estranged father and son could come soon, one that would likely leave Prince Harry in a much better place going forward.
Newsnation reports that with the King visiting Canada on May 26 and May 27 to deliver a “throne speech” to open the Canadian parliament, the door is open for a quick visit to the United States to see Harry and his grandchildren. Palace officials have apparently been seen in New York as well, though there’s no confirmation as to why. ”There is no way King Charles could visit the United States without visiting Canada,” a source told the outlet.
The King has not officially been invited by US President Donald Trump, but the outlet indicates that if he were, “of course, he would come. He is a powerful diplomatic tool, and he and President Trump get along.” And if that gives him a reason to pop by to see his son on the down-low, all the better. Cancer isn’t the kind of thing that gives you too many second chances, and with Harry putting out there that he’s looking for a reconciliation—even if many in the Royal family weren’t pleased with the way—that might just be what the King needed to take that final step.
