The treatment for King Charles III’s cancer “is moving in a positive direction,” a source from Buckingham Palace told NBC News on Friday, nearly a year after he was diagnosed with the illness.
The source emphasized that while progress has been made, his cancer remains in a “managed state,” meaning that “his treatment cycle will continue into the next year.”
Charles was only 18 months into his reign when Buckingham Palace confirmed his cancer diagnosis in February.
The statement explained that the 76-year-old monarch chose to share his health status partly “in the hope that it may help public understanding for all those around the world affected by cancer.”
