King Charles 'on the better side' of cancer journey
King Charles is "on the better side" of his cancer journey.
The 76-year-old monarch - who has been receiving regular treatment after being diagnosed with an undisclosed form of the disease in 2024 – spoke to florist Safeena Khan about his health, during a visit to Bradford to celebrate its status as the UK's City of Culture.
Khan told MailOnline: "He asked me how I was, and I asked him how he was. There was some pleasantries towards the end, but it was a lovely conversation."
The florist added that Charles gave her a "thumbs up" when she asked about his health and told her: "I'd like to think I'm on the better side (of my cancer journey)".
During a recent Buckingham Palace garden party, Charles advocated for the benefits of eating well amid cancer treatment.
The monarch spoke with Stamford Collis, 22, about the student's own experiences of battling cancer at the recent event and Stamford told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "He was asking me about the treatment I have starting in June and spoke to me about food and diet. He also asked me if I had undergone radiation treatment, which I had earlier this year."
The publication reports the king was heard to say: "It's sometimes about the diet and what you eat. It can help."
This comes after Charles son, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, recently claimed he doesn't "know how much longer my father has".
Speaking about their strained relationship, amid his decision to quit as a senior royal and move to California with his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and their family, Harry told the BBC: "There have been so many disagreements, differences between me and some of my family this current situation that has been now ongoing for five years with regards to human life and safety is the sticking point it is the only thing that's left.
"Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book, of course they will never forgive me for lots of things.
"But you know there is, I would love reconciliation with my family there's no point in continuing to fight anymore, as I said life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has, he won't speak to me because of this security stuff but it would be nice to reconcile."

David Beckham joins Hollywood stars Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet for King's charity awards
Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. David Beckham was among a star-studded line-up at the King's Foundation annual awards ceremony where Hollywood A-listers including Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet shook hands with King Charles III. Beckham — who became ambassador for the foundation in 2024 — is tipped to be awarded a knighthood on June 14. More than 200 guests attended the annual event at St James Palace in London on Thursday which also celebrated the charity foundation's 35th anniversary. King Charles was joined by Princess Anne and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Edward and Sophie to mark the charity's milestone anniversary. Actor Stanley Tucci, model and wife of singer Rod Stewart, Penny Lancaster, and BBC presenter Alan Titchmarsh were also there to celebrate the work of those who have contributed to the charity's work across several sectors including education, sustainability, heritage, and environmental education. Beckham is tipped to be on the honours list for King Charles' Birthday Honours which will be announced on the King's 76th birthday which is officially celebrated by the Trooping the Colour event each year. The football legend — who was appointed an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2003 — has long been popular with the royal family and has been involved in several charity initiatives organised by King Charles and Prince William. It's the second royal event Beckham, 50, has attended in recent times after being seen sharing a laugh with the King and Queen Camilla last month at the Chelsea Flower Show in support of the King's charity. The new honour would be further recognition of the former England football captain's sporting career and his contributions to British society.

King's bombshell balcony snub at birthday celebrations
The Buckingham Palace balcony will appear notably emptier than in years past on Saturday, with only 12 members of the royal family expected to attend King Charles' official birthday celebrations. As final preparations are underway for the Trooping the Colour ceremony, attention has once again turned to the iconic Buckingham Palace balcony. Featuring more than a thousand soldiers, horses, and musicians, the grand and tradition-rich parade is performed every year on the Horse Guards Parade in London by regiments of the Household Division. Each year, one of the five Foot Guards regiments is chosen to 'troop' its regimental colour, a symbolic flag representing its history, before the monarch. This year, the Coldstream Guards will 'troop their colour' for Charles. The celebration concludes with a spectacular RAF fly-past, watched by members of the royal family from the balcony of Buckingham Palace. This weekend, Charles and Queen Camilla will step out onto the balcony alongside the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and the adorably mischievous Prince Louis.

The Duke of Kent and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester will also appear in the famed balcony shots. Perhaps more striking is who will not be present. Missing from the balcony this year are Edward and Sophie's children, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex, who appear to be continuing their quiet withdrawal from public royal duties after their notable absence from the recent VE Day 80th anniversary events. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will again be absent, maintaining their withdrawal from royal events since stepping back in 2019. Similarly, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and Zara Tindall will not appear on the balcony, as they are no longer classified as working royals under King Charles' reign. Appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony is a revered tradition, a moment steeped in history that stretches all the way back to the reign of Queen Victoria. The late Queen Elizabeth cherished including extended royal family members on the Buckingham Palace balcony, so much so that nearly 40 royals appeared during Trooping the Colour in 2019. LONDON, ENGLAND - JUNE 09: Princess Anne, Princess Royal, Princess Beatrice, Lady Louise Windsor, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, Queen Elizabeth II, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, Savannah Phillips, Prince George of Cambridge and Isla Phillips watch the flypast on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during Trooping The Colour on June 9, 2018 in London, England. The annual ceremony involving over 1400 guardsmen and cavalry, is believed to have first been performed during the reign of King Charles II. The parade marks the official birthday of the Sovereign, even though the Queen's actual birthday is on April 21st.

In stark contrast, Charles is streamlining the royal presence, significantly reducing the number of family members on display at public occasions to reflect the monarchy's evolving direction.
