King Charles pens personal note for Joe Biden after his cancer diagnosis
Britain's King Charles penned a personal note for former US President Joe Biden after the news of his cancer diagnosis.
According to the PEOPLE's report, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the King, who himself is undergoing treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer, personally penned the message of support.
The contents of the letter remain private.
On Sunday, May 18, Joe Biden's office revealed that the former US president, 82, had been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.
The diagnosis came after Joe Biden reported experiencing urinary symptoms, prompting doctors to conduct further tests, which revealed a concerning nodule on his prostate.
Biden's prostate cancer has been classified as Stage 4, with a Gleason score of 9—indicating one of the most aggressive forms of the disease—and has already spread to the bones, reported The New York Times, citing a statement from the ex-POTUS's office.
Biden took to X to thank the public for the 'love and support' following the news of his cancer and said, 'Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.'
In February 2024, Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles, 76, had been diagnosed with cancer and had started treatment.
Although he was hospitalised a month earlier for an enlarged prostate, palace officials later clarified that his cancer is not prostate-related.
Shortly after the news broke, Biden had expressed his 'concern' for the King, adding that "God willing," he'd be speaking to him soon in better health.
The two leaders have met in person on multiple occasions, dating back to when Joe Biden was vice president and King Charles was still the Prince of Wales.
Biden was the 13th and final US president Queen Elizabeth met before her passing in September 2022, and the first King Charles met after ascending the throne.

Is the world being divided among the US, China, and Russia? Trump sees these three as main 'power centers' for..., is India being sidelined?
For Donald Trump, the word he seems to love the most is 'deal.' And when it comes to countries like China and Russia, he becomes even more eager to strike one. Through these deals, Trump wants to send a message back home that he can negotiate even with world leaders who are usually hard to deal with. According to a report in The New York Times , Trump recently said he would like to normalize trade relations with Russia. This gave the impression that he was offering to ease pressure on Moscow, possibly as a step towards ending the war in Ukraine. At the same time, he has also been reaching out to China's leadership asking for a phone call to reduce the tension caused by the global trade war he started. In an interview with Time magazine, Trump explained his way of thinking: 'We all want to make deals. But I'm like a giant store. A beautiful, huge store where everyone wants to shop.' But The New York Times suggests Trump might be aiming for something much bigger when it comes to China and Russia. Some foreign policy experts believe Trump imagines a future world where three superpowers dominate i.e. the United States, China, and Russia. In this vision, he sees these three as the main 'power centers' of the earth. Trump's past comments seem to support this idea. He once talked about buying Greenland from Denmark and even suggested that Canada should become a part of the U.S. He also expressed interest in bringing the Panama Canal back under American control. How Donald Trump deals with the world Donald Trump's way of dealing with the world is very different from traditional U.S. presidents. He has often criticized America's own allies and spoken about pulling US troops out of different countries. This kind of move, experts say, could benefit countries like Russia and China, who have long been trying to weaken America's military presence in Europe and Asia. Trump regularly praises leaders like Vladimir Putin of Russia and Xi Jinping of China, calling them 'strong' and 'smart' and even referred them as his personal friends. He has shown support for dividing Ukraine, taking away its rich mineral resources, and has openly criticized NATO, the military alliance that protects Europe. Just last week, Trump and Putin reportedly spoke on the phone for two hours, discussing the situation in Ukraine. After the call, Trump posted on social media that the tone of the conversation was 'very positive.' In short, Trump's foreign policy appears to be less about global cooperation and more about dominating through deals, forming close bonds with rival powers, and reviving an old-fashioned world order where a few big players control the game. Where does India stand in Donald Trump's foreign policy? When it comes to India, Trump's approach is causing concern. U.S. media and experts are warning that the way Trump handles the India relationship could actually hurt America's long-term interests. Under President Biden, India was seen as a key partner in the Indo-Pacific region especially to balance China's growing power. But Trump's policies seem to ignore that idea. Experts are now saying that if Trump continues with his current thinking, the U.S. might end up losing India as a trusted ally in Asia. And that, they say, could backfire badly on America in the future.
