King Charles, who has always shown courage despite his battle with cancer, commented on the side effects of chemotherapy, making royal fans emotional.
On Monday, the monarch visited Guy’s Cancer Center to celebrate 300 years of the hospital amid her own health challenges.
During his visit he learned about important cancer research projects being carried out at Guy’s Hospital and King’s College London.
Charles inspected the robotic technology assisting with medical procedures.
But the heartfelt interactions with cancer patients became a highlight of the event.
He spoke with patients during the chemotherapy village tour.
Among them was Raymond Burgees, who said chemotherapy left a bad taste in his mouth.
According to Royal Central, the king responded: “It’s a horrible metallic taste. It doesn’t really help with eating.”
For those who don’t know, Buckingham Palace announced in 2024 that King Charles had been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer.
In December 2025, the monarch said the regularity of his treatment would be reduced, implying that his health was moving in a positive direction.
The King “thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and compliance with doctors’ orders, my own cancer treatment program can be reduced in the new year.”
However, despite better treatment being provided, tensions between Andrew and Harry have reportedly taken a toll on the monarch’s health.
