Following his cancer diagnosis announcement nearly three weeks ago, King Charles, 75, has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support in the form of thousands of cards and letters. The cards, ranging from humorous to heartfelt, have brought both tears and smiles to the King's face.
A social media video released by Buckingham Palace showcased the King's gratitude towards well-wishers. The Correspondence Team at Buckingham Palace has received over 7,000 letters and cards from around the world, with a selection being shared with the King daily. Many of the messages share personal experiences with cancer, offer good wishes, and provide advice for a speedy recovery.
One touching message from a child encouraged the King to stay strong and not give up, while another expressed wishes for a swift recovery. Adults also sent messages of support, emphasizing the importance of positivity and family during challenging times.
During his recent meeting with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the King shared a light-hearted moment, joking about his appearance and expressing gratitude for the spotlight on cancer charities. Sunak acknowledged the incredible work done by these charities and assured the King of the country's support.
The King's openness about his diagnosis has not only sparked an outpouring of support but also raised awareness about vital cancer charities. The messages of encouragement and well-wishes continue to pour in, providing comfort and strength to King Charles during his treatment.
