King Charles is said to be very happy as his cancer update message has been well received.
His Majesty, who is currently under treatment for cancer, recently announced that his doctors are positive about his progress.
Now, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: “I know His Majesty will be greatly encouraged and deeply touched by the very positive reaction his message has generated.
“He will be particularly pleased at the way it has helped to shine a light on the benefits of cancer screening programmes. It has long been the King’s view that if some public good can come from sharing elements of his personal diagnosis and treatment journey, then it would be his pleasure and duty to do so.”
His Majesty also focused on the importance of early screening, as he spoke about his diagnosis.
Meanwhile, Cancer Research UK’s Michelle Mitchell says His Majesty’s confession has brought a positive impact.
She noted: “We’re incredibly grateful to our patron, His Majesty The King. When public figures speak openly about their cancer diagnosis, it can prompt others to check in on their health.
“Spotting cancer early can make a real difference and provides the best chance for successful treatment. Since launching our new cancer Screening Checker, we've seen around 100,000 visits so far from people seeking information about cancer screening, with most of these taking place after His Majesty The King spoke openly about his own cancer journey during the Stand Up To Cancer live show,” said Mitchell.
