King Charles, who always put on a brave face despite his cancer battle, has commented on the side effects of chemotherapy, making royal fans emotional.

On Monday, the monarch visited Guy’s Cancer Centre to celebrate 300 years of the hospital during his own health struggles.

He learned about meaningful cancer research projects from Guy’s Hospital and King’s College, London during the visit.

Charles inspected the robotics technology helping in medical procedures.

But the heartfelt interactions with cancer patients became a highlight of the event.

He spoke with patients while touring Chemotherapy Village.

Among them was Raymond Burgees, who talked about how chemotherapy leaves a bad taste in his mouth.

As per Royal Central, the King responded, “It’s an awful sort of metallic taste. It doesn’t exactly help with eating.”

For the unversed, Buckingham Palace announced in 2024 that King Charles had been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer.

In December 2025, the monarch shared that the regularity of his treatment is going to be reduced, hinting that his health is going in a positive direction.

The King “thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to doctors’ orders, my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the new year.”

However, despite better ongoing treatment, Andrew and Harry’s tensions have reportedly taken a toll on the monarch’s health. 

Buckingham Palace released a message from King Charles for “brilliant doctors” amid his ongoing cancer treatment.

The monarch, who has been diagnosed with undisclosed form of cancer since early 2024, has taken more initiatives to address the struggles of survivors and the acknowledge the medical team and healthcare staff for their work.

Charles, who is a patron of King’s College London, stepped out to visit the NHS hospital using new technology to treat patients.

“A big thank you to all the brilliant doctors, nurses and healthcare staff who work to save lives and support wellbeing, as we celebrate the 300th anniversary of Guy’s Hospital,” the message from the King’s team read.

“At the hospital’s Cancer Centre, The King spent time with chemotherapy patients, nurses and doctors. This year marks six decades of oncology at Guy’s, and the centre consolidates services once spread across 13 sites,” it continued.

“At the King’s College Innovation Hub, His Majesty, who is Patron of King’s College London, heard how professors and students are using AI and robotics to treat patients, and to train the next generation of specialists who are shaping the future of cancer research.”

Meghan Markle tuned out the noise of critics firmly to mark special celebration as she shared a delightful family update.

The Duchess of Sussex, mum to seven-year-old Archie and four-year-old Lilibet, took a trip to Disneyland, in what appeared to be Mother’s Day celebrations.

The Sussex family was also joined by Meghan’s mum, Doria Ragland for the occasion as well. On Monday night, Meghan shared a carousel of highlights from her day.

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet were seen enjoying themselves as they met with their favourite Disney characters. King Charles’s youngest granddaughter particularly shared a heartwarming hug with Cinderella during the outing.

Meanwhile, in her Instagram Stories, Doria was warmly greeted by Mickey Mouse much to Meghan’s amusement.

According to a source cited by People Magazine, the family was celebrating the children’s birthday together.

“The kids did lots of rides, and it was a special way to extend Mother’s Day for Meghan and her mom,” they said.

Archie turned seven last week, whereas Lilibet will be turning four next month.

The news comes just days after it was revealed that Meghan’s father Thomas Markle has returned to the US to continue with his medical care. He is expected to receive a prosthetic leg following his life-saving leg amputation in Philippines.

There is speculation over whether Meghan would meet her father, but sources and royal experts are of the view that the father-daughter reunion is unlikely to happen any time soon.
