King Charles is secretive about his cancer type in order to be respectful to all people suffering from the illness.

His Majesty does not wish to discriminate the community in an attempt to label his cancer, says a spokesperson.

This comes as King disclosed a positive update on his health: "Today I am able to share with you the good news that thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to ‘doctors’ orders,’ my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the New Year."

"This milestone is both a personal blessing and a testimony to the remarkable advances that have been made in cancer care in recent years; testimony that I hope may give encouragement to the fifty percent of us who will be diagnosed with the illness at some point in our lives," he continued.

"The advice from cancer experts is that, in his determination to support the whole cancer community, it is preferable that His Majesty does not address his own specific condition but rather speaks to those affected by all forms of the disease," said a spokesperson.

This comes as King Charles is holding out for a reconciliation with his son Prince Harry—especially amid speculation that this Christmas could be his last.

She said, "Charles has always felt he’s left the door open emotionally. But the reality is that tensions with Prince William remain unresolved."

For the unversed, the monarch always prioritises family time, especially during the festive season. Every year, he looks forward to celebrating Christmas with his loved ones at Sandringham estate.
