THE NEW YORK TIMES: A video of the king discussing his “recovery journey” will air on Channel 4 on Friday as part of a national cancer awareness campaign in the U.K.
King Charles III will share a personal message about his experience with cancer in a prerecorded video message that will air on British television on Friday.
The king, 77, was diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer last year, and the message will be broadcast as part of a national cancer awareness campaign in Britain, Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
The video will address Charles’s “recovery journey,” the palace said, and will emphasize the importance of screenings to detect cancer early.
It is expected to air at 8 p.m. local time on Channel 4, during an evening of fund-raising programs for “Stand Up to Cancer,” a charitable campaign that aims to raise money for cancer research and treatment. The video was recorded in the last week of November at Clarence House, the king’s royal residence in London. » | Francesca Regalado | Friday, December 12, 2025
