Royal Photographer Says King Charles Is Hard to Keep Up With During Cancer Care

Officials have not disclosed the cancer type, though past briefings stressed he is managing.

Overview

  • Chris Jackson told ITV’s Love Your Weekend that keeping up with the King is “really hard work” because Charles is “working left, right and centre” with many engagements.
  • The monarch’s cancer was diagnosed in February last year after treatment for a benign enlarged prostate revealed a separate issue, and officials have said it is not prostate cancer.
  • A senior royal aide said in May that the King is managing his condition and aiming to live as normally as possible.
  • In September, Charles told well-wishers he was feeling “not too bad” during the opening of Midland Metropolitan University Hospital in Smethwick.
  • Jackson said he witnessed both King Charles and Princess Catherine face their cancer diagnoses and described how they have bounced back from difficult periods.
