King Charles will continue his cancer treatment throughout 2025, according to recent reports.
A Buckingham Palace insider shared that, despite ongoing medical care, His Majesty’s health is improving and moving in a positive direction.
At 76 years old, King Charles is expected to resume a full schedule of public engagements in the coming year, including both domestic and international visits.
Positive Outlook for 2025
Sources from the Palace revealed that King Charles’ cancer treatment, which has been managed as an ongoing condition, is progressing well.
The treatment cycle will extend into 2025, with His Majesty determined to return to his royal duties.
He has already shown signs of recovery by hosting family members for a pre-Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace and attending several engagements.
King Charles is scheduled for his final public event of the year today, focusing on community efforts.
A Year of Resilience for the Royal Family
This year has been marked by significant challenges for the Royal Family, with both King Charles and Princess Kate facing health battles.
Prince William, reflecting on the difficulties of the past year, described it as “probably the hardest year in my life” due to his wife and father’s cancer treatments.
Despite these hardships, William expressed pride in how his family members have handled their struggles, describing the experience as “brutal” but also a source of deep personal growth.
Kate’s Health Journey and Christmas Wishes
Kate, the Princess of Wales, has also emerged stronger from her cancer treatment.
In September, she released a heartfelt video, sharing her journey and confirming her return to public duties after completing chemotherapy.
Her message, alongside images of her family enjoying the outdoors, reflected her commitment to staying cancer-free.
As for the royal Christmas card this year, William and Kate chose a photograph taken in Norfolk, where they have spent meaningful time with their children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, as part of Kate’s recovery.
The card carried warm wishes for a “Happy Christmas and New Year.”
William and Kate’s Absence from the Royal Lunch
This year, Prince William and Kate did not attend the traditional Royal Family pre-Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace.
The decision was not linked to the ongoing controversy surrounding Prince Andrew’s connections to a Chinese spy scandal.
Instead, the couple planned to spend the holidays at the Sandringham estate with their children.
Their absence highlights the growing trend of focusing on family time over public events.
Andrew’s Absence and Royal Family Tensions
In related news, Prince Andrew also skipped the pre-Christmas gathering, reportedly due to his ongoing connection to the alleged Chinese spy, Yang Tengbo.
The Duke of York has faced public scrutiny over these ties, though he denies any wrongdoing.
His absence from the royal celebrations underscores the tensions within the family as they navigate both personal and public challenges.
The Sussexes’ Christmas Message
Across the pond, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, shared a rare glimpse into their family life.
Their Christmas card featured images of their two children, Archie and Lilibet, running into their arms.
The couple, who stepped down from their royal roles in 2020, continue to maintain a private life with minimal public exposure for their children.
Their card, which was sent to professional contacts, included a message of holiday cheer and good wishes for the New Year.
