King of comedy.King Charles hasn’t lost his sense of humor as he continues his battle with cancer.
The monarch, 76, joked that he’s “still alive” when he was asked about his health while meeting leaders from different faith communities at Waltham Forest Town Hall in the London neighborhood of Walthamstow on Friday.Harvinder Rattan, a representative of the Sikh faith, asked, “Your Majesty, good morning, how are you?”“I’m still alive, thank God,” Charles jokingly replied.
The King’s cheeky remark comes the same day palace sources confirmed to The Post that “his treatment has been moving in a positive direction.” The sources also noted that “as a managed condition the treatment cycle, will continue into next year.”The King revealed his cancer diagnosis in February and announced he had started treatment.The cancer was discovered in January after he underwent a planned procedure to treat a benign enlarged prostate.
“I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days,” the King said in a statement at the time.“As all those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement.”He continued, “It is equally heartening to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all those organizations [that] support cancer patients and their families across the U.K.
and wider world.“My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater as a result of my own personal experience.”Buckingham Palace has not revealed what type of cancer the King has, but sources have said it is not prostate cancer.The King subsequently canceled all public engagements but resumed those duties in April.Friday’s community visit in Waltham Forest focused on community cohesion in the UK.
