The father of Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, sent a message of support to King Charles III.
The 75-year-old British monarch recently underwent a “corrective procedure” to treat an enlarged prostate and, after additional tests, doctors identified a distinct concern, Buckingham Palace explained in a statement on Monday (5). .
After the announcement, Thomas Markle – who has not been in contact with Meghan since her daughter’s wedding to Prince Harry in 2018 – expressed solidarity with the king.
“I would like to wish King Charles well, and I hope he recovers very quickly. I wish him all the best in the world,” the lighting director told the British newspaper “Daily Mail”.
In a statement shared on Monday, the palace communications team released the king’s diagnosis to the public.
“During the King’s recent hospital procedure to treat benign prostate enlargement, a distinct point of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests identified a form of cancer. His Majesty began a regular treatment schedule today, during which he was advised by doctors to postpone public engagements. Throughout this period, Her Majesty will continue to carry out State duties and deal with official documents as usual. The King is grateful to his medical team for the quick intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure,” the note read.
Charles, who ascended the throne in 2022 following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth, remains optimistic about his prognosis and is keen to return to his public duties “as soon as possible”.
“He remains completely positive about his treatment and hopes to return to full public duty as soon as possible. His Majesty chose to share his diagnosis to avoid speculation and in the hope that it can promote public awareness for everyone around the world who is affected by cancer,” the note read at the end.
Prince Harry, the king’s youngest son, will return to the United Kingdom this Tuesday (6), but his wife and children, Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2, will remain in the United States.
