Cancer-stricken King Charles and Queen Camilla reveal 2025 Christmas card amid fears holiday may be ‘his last’

But apparently Queen Camilla was not on board with her husband’s decision to open up about his diagnosis with the public. Per The Times, “It can now be revealed that when the King learnt he had cancer nearly two years ago, his wife initially believed his diagnosis should remain private, as she feared the toll public scrutiny of his health might take

on his recovery.”

Apparently, Camilla felt that “once the door on it had been opened, it could never be closed,” but now she realizes King Charles made the right choice. Per a source, “Both of them now unequivocally think that being so open has been hugely positive — positive for public engagement with raising awareness around cancer and also personally for him in terms of how public good has come from personal misfortune.”

King Charles actually just gave an update about his treatment, saying earlier this month “Today I am able to share with you the good news that thanks

to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to ‘doctors’ orders,’ my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the New Year. This milestone is both a personal blessing and a testimony to the remarkable advances that have been made in cancer care in recent years.”

A spokesperson for the King also told CNN that “His Majesty has responded exceptionally well to treatment and his doctors advise that

ongoing measures will now move into a precautionary phase. This position will be continuously monitored and reviewed to protect and prioritize his continued recovery.”
