Charles & Camilla Share ‘Deeply Concerned & Profoundly Saddened’ Statement After Report the ‘Dying’ King Is ‘Physically Sick’
There’s a lot that the King of England has to worry about. And on top of the usual concerns that come from the position, King Charles has also had to deal with his precarious health after a cancer diagnosis and the added stress of scandal after scandal coming from his brother, Prince Andrew, and Sarah Ferguson. But now, the King is speaking up about another situation.
King Charles and Queen Camilla posted a message about Hurricane Melissa and the devastation it has caused to the island of Jamaica. “A message from The King to the people of Jamaica and all those across the Caribbean affected by Hurricane Melissa,” read the Instagram caption on the Royal Family account, which featured a letter with the King’s words.

“My wife and I have been deeply concerned and profoundly saddened to see the catastrophic damage caused by the ferocity of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica and across the Caribbean,” the letter read. “As we continue to follow the situation closely, our anxious thoughts are with all those who have been so cruelly affected by this awful storm.”
Charles even added that he has the “greatest affection” for Jamaica, “ever since I first visited the island while serving in the Royal Navy on the West Indies station over fifty years ago,” and said, “I know that no disaster can break her people’s enduring spirit of strength, solidarity and steadfastness.”
Hurricane Melissa is the strongest storm to have formed so far this year, and it caused catastrophic damage in Jamaica, as well as battering Haiti and Cuba.
This message comes amid rumors about the King’s health and how it has been affected by the latest Prince Andrew scandal. RadarOnline.com recently reported that the king is “physically sick with worry” and that there’s concern that his cancer treatment has left him “too frail” to deal with this new crisis. “It’s going to kill him,” sources even went as far as saying.
“The King is utterly worn down by it. Just when he thinks the matter has settled, another revelation surfaces. It’s placing enormous strain on him. He’s doing his best to focus on his recovery and royal work, but the constant stress is really affecting his health,” a source explained to the outlet, adding that there is even concern that things with Andrew could progress and get even worse.
Not so long ago, Rob Shuter’s Substack, had gone as far as to report that the King is “dying” and his health has forced Prince William to take on more royal duties. According to Shuter, Charles is “seriously unwell but determined to carry on,” with a source adding that, “He’s exhausted, but he won’t stop. “Every morning he insists on reading his red boxes. He believes his service to the country is his calling — and he’ll keep going as long as he can.”
That includes sending condolences and good wishes to Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa and finally dealing with his disgraced brother, Andrew.
