King Charles and Princess Kate share a deeply personal battle with cancer. And now, a newly uncovered historical link shows their families were united in that fight long before either was born.

According to research uncovered by Australian historian Michael Reed and reported by The Telegraph, ancestors of the monarch and the Princess of Wales worked together nearly a century ago to advance cancer research. In 1925, King Charles’ great-uncle, the sixth Earl of Harewood, and Princess Kate’s great-great-great uncle, Sir Charles Lupton, helped establish the British Empire Cancer Campaign’s Yorkshire Council.

The discovery comes as both royals have faced cancer treatment in recent years. Kate is now in remission following chemotherapy, while the King is expected to scale back his treatment in the new year.

Reed found that Viscount Henry Lascelles served as the council’s first president, with Sir Charles Lupton acting as its vice-president. Princess Mary, King Charles’ great-aunt, later took on the role of president until her death in 1965. Their work is being marked with a centenary booklet titled “a century of saving lives,” alongside a commemorative ball at Castle Howard.

“I felt it was very poignant that although the Princess and King Charles’s ancestors were both aristocratic men, they chose to get their hands dirty doing really tough campaigning for a disease which, in 1925, perplexed most leading scientists,” Reed said.

He added, “I think this new knowledge of both their families having an historically strong connection to cancer research will add to both the King and Princess’s determination to continue fighting the disease.”

Earlier this month, the King echoed that commitment in a Stand Up to Cancer message, saying, “I know from my own experience that a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming,” while urging the public to prioritise early screening.

Walton Goggins has nothing but admiration for his new Fallout co-star, Macaulay Culkin.

Speaking about Culkin’s surprise debut in season 2 of the Prime Video series, Goggins revealed that he was caught off guard by the casting.

But he quickly realized how perfectly the Home Alone actor fit into the apocalyptic world.

“I didn’t know about him because they don’t tell me a lot of things,” Goggins admitted in a recent interview with People.

“Justin [Theroux] I knew about, obviously, and Jon [Gries] and a few other people, but Macaulay I didn’t know about,” Goggins admitted, recalling how the news of Culkin’s involvement came as a surprise.

“When they told me, I just lit up because I think the world of him. We had such a great time on Righteous Gemstones and we became friends after that.”

For Goggins, Culkin’s casting was more than just a reunion with a former co-star.

“The way he fits into this world is so specific and he is so uniquely suited for it,” he said, emphasizing how Culkin’s thoughtful approach to the role elevated the performance.

Showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet echoed the sentiment, praising Culkin’s creative vision for the character.

“He had this very particular read on the kind of character that he wanted to play within the Legion and I think he really brought that to the screen,” she explained.

For the unversed, new episodes of Fallout season 2 debut Wednesdays on Prime Video until the finale on February 4, 2026

The hit series “The Pitt” has earned praise for its realistic look at the pressures facing health care workers. Chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook spoke to the star of the show, Noah Wyle, for “CBS Sunday Morning.” Wyle talked about how the cast prepared for their roles beyond learning their lines before shooting the series even began.
