He would also be welcomed due to his aviation connections and could be vouched for by Ex-Ascot.

King Charles III has cancer and will step back from public duties, Buckingham Palace announces

https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/05/europe/k ... index.html

Britain’s King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer and will step back from public-facing duties while he undergoes treatment, Buckingham Palace announced Monday.

The update came after Charles, 75, attended a London hospital for a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate last month.

Tests were carried out and revealed a “form of cancer,” the palace said in a statement on Monday. A royal source told CNN that the form of cancer detected was not prostate cancer, but did not specify further.

“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties,” the palace said.

“Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business
and official paperwork as usual,” it added.

The King spent three nights at the London Clinic, a private hospital near Regent’s Park, for his recent procedure and was previously said to be “doing well” following the stint.

He was seen for the first time since his treatment on Sunday, appearing in good spirits as he waved to the public on his way to a Sunday morning church service in Sandringham, Norfolk. His wife, Queen Camilla accompanied him.

The royal source added that the King returned from Sandringham on Monday morning to begin outpatient treatment in London.

“The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure,” Buckingham Palace’s statement said. “He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.”

“His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer,” the palace concluded.

Prince William, the next in line to the throne, will be returning to public duties later this week, after taking time off to support his wife in her own recovery from abdominal surgery, Kensington Palace announced in a press statement Monday.

Prince Harry spoke to his father about the diagnosis and will be traveling to the UK to see the King in the coming days, the office of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said.

Britain’s political leaders quickly reacted to the news. Rishi Sunak, the prime minister, wrote on social media that he was “wishing His Majesty a full and speedy recovery.

“I have no doubt he’ll be back to full strength in no time and I know the whole country will be wishing him well,” Sunak said.

You have been warned!

I'm sure someone will give him an update.

Heavy rain this morning, currently 22C, forecast max 25C. Workshop day, catching up with stuff I haven't done because it was too hot.

In Scotland, a black watch, surely?

I've injured my leg somehow so took an ibuprofen last night. Consequently had the best night's sleep for months.

[Ex-Ascot]

Morning folks. Broken Cu no rain.

My 2003 Ford Fiesta passed the annual inspection (€40) today. Mind you I did put a bottle of "Pass the ITV Inspection" cleaner in the fuel tank last month. €7 from my local supermarket.

The usual 'Pass the Inspection' bottle here goes on the back seat, and it isn't fuel cleaner ;)

A wet and miserable day on the Humber,a trip into town was required but I did manage to acquire a nice bacon sandwich. A quick trip into the local T.esco, reputed to be the second largest in the country?, sad to see two long aisles crammed full with Easter eggs at this time of the year.. The BBC continue in their search for as many people as they can find who know nothing to comment on the state of the King's health, although it seems that the most important item in the lunchtime news was that Prince Harry arrived at Heathrow and had a police escort to wherever he was going.
It continues to rain and apart from the fact that we are having stirfry for tea, and the car is wet that is your lot..
