Donald Trump on Monday expressed his well wishes and support for King Charles as news broke that the monarch had been diagnosed with a form of cancer. The diagnosis came after Charles underwent a prostate procedure while in the hospital. Buckingham Palace issued a statement, clarifying that while Charles did not have prostate cancer, he was indeed facing a different form of the disease.
Following the announcement, Trump took to social media to send his thoughts and prayers to the king, emphasizing his personal connection to Charles during his presidency. Trump wrote on his new social media platform, Truth Social, KING CHARLES HAS CANCER. HE IS A WONDERFUL MAN, WHOM I KNEW WELL DURING MY PRESIDENCY, AND WE ALL PRAY THAT HE WILL BE HEALED QUICKLY AND COMPLETELY!
Buckingham Palace, in their statement, assured the public that Charles was feeling positive about his treatment. They expressed gratitude to the medical team for their swift intervention and highlighted Charles’ eagerness to resume his public duties once he has fully recovered.
This recent health news comes less than a year after Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation ceremony, which was watched by millions both in the UK and around the world. Charles ascended the throne as Charles III following the passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022. The coronation marked a historic event, as it was the first in the United Kingdom in 70 years.
Trump’s comments about the monarchy have been notable in the past. In May, he criticized President Joe Biden for not attending Charles and Camilla’s coronation ceremony, claiming that it was an insult to the British people. Trump wrote in an article on Truth Social, Joe Biden should have been at the coronation of King Charles III. Is this really too much to ask? The British people are greatly insulted. No wonder we are losing support all over the world. World.
Apart from Charles’ diagnosis, there have been other health concerns within the royal family. Last month, Kate Middleton underwent abdominal surgery and was hospitalized for nearly two weeks. Kensington Palace later released a statement stating that she was recovering well and had returned home to continue her healing.
As the news about King Charles’ health spreads, the world joins in hoping for his quick and complete recovery. The royal family remains optimistic, and the British public eagerly awaits the return of their beloved monarch to his official duties.
