Earlier this week it was revealed that the King’s cancer treatment is expected to continue into 2025 almost a year after his diagnosis following hospital treatment for an enlarged prostate.
Buckingham Palace sources told Sky News that “his treatment has been moving in a positive direction and as a managed condition the treatment cycle will continue into next year”.
Further details of the King’s condition have not been disclosed, and when the Palace announced the diagnosis in February, it asked for privacy and only confirmed Charles has a “form of cancer”.
He cancelled all face-to-face public duties until April but has since travelled to France for D-Day commemorations, hosted a state visit for the Emperor of Japan and toured Australia and Samoa with the Queen, while undergoing outpatient cancer treatment.
The King and Queen will be hosting many members of their family at Sandringham on Christmas Day, with the Prince of Wales revealing recently 45 people will be “all in one room” at the royal residence.
Princess Beatrice will be joining the celebrations after changing her Christmas travel plans due to medical advice, it is understood.
Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are expecting their second child due in early spring and were expected to spend the festive period overseas with his family, but after medical advice are understood to have been advised not to travel long distances.
Beatrice’s father the Duke of York – the King’s brother – is staying away from Sandringham amid the controversy surrounding his links to an alleged Chinese spy.
