King Charles’ health conditions are progressively deteriorating, leading Buckingham Palace officials to keep a regularly updated plan for his impending funeral preparations which started the day after Queen Elizabeth was buried, insiders said.
The 75-year-old monarch has remained largely out of the limelight since announcing his cancer prognosis in February to hide his declining condition, with multiple sources saying the situation is “not good.”
“Of course, he is determined to beat it and they are throwing everything at it. Everyone is staying optimistic, but he is very unwell. More than they are letting on,” a source described as an old friend of the royal family told.
Although King Charles has never disclosed the type of cancer he was given, he has acknowledged that it was not prostate cancer, which is one of the most treatable forms of the disease.
Regarding his medical journey, the Firm has likewise remained silent, but politically connected insiders and public observers have openly stated that the King is “responding really well” to treatment.
