Royal Insider Shares Statement on King Charles' Health originally appeared on Parade.
Despite ongoing cancer treatment, King Charles III is pushing forward with his royal duties.
According to a Hello! article from Thursday, May 29, a senior royal aide recently shared insight into the King's health, revealing that he is "managing" his cancer and continues to live as "normally as possible."
A senior royal aide explained, 'Medical science has made incredible advances, and I genuinely see no difference in him. As long as you do what the doctors say, just live your life as normal as possible, and that's exactly what he is doing.'
'It's no secret that he is still having treatment but because he is incredibly fit, he is just dealing with it all incredibly well. As everybody knows he is driven by duty, so he just gets on with it,' the aide revealed.

The King and his wife, Queen Camilla, recently completed a tour of Canada, packed with back-to-back engagements, 76-year-old Charles not missing any. In Ottawa, he even delivered a 26-minute speech in both English and French during the state opening of Parliament.
Although the King and Queen are taking a brief pause from their public commitments, the royal calendar remains as busy as ever, with events such as Trooping the Colour, Garter Day, Royal Ascot, and an upcoming state visit from French President Macron. Despite the King's health, aides are "planning the program as usual" but with little success in lightening the load.
The royal couple was warmly received in Canada, where the King was "very touched" by the reception. The senior aide noted that the visit marked a "reset" of the relationship between the King and the people of Canada, which was met with enthusiasm. The visit was particularly meaningful as it was the King's first official trip to Canada since ascending to the throne after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 2022. While the trip had originally been planned for 2024, it was postponed after Charles was diagnosed with cancer in February 2024.

Navalny widow launches TV channel to fight Russia 'censorship'
The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and Reporters Without Borders on Tuesday praised the launch of a television channel that aims to bypass censorship in Russia and preserve the Kremlin critic's legacy. The channel, called Future of Russia, will be broadcast via a free-to-air satellite platform run by the press freedom advocacy group Reporters Without Borders, known by its French abbreviation RSF. Navalny's team hopes to get greater exposure and better reach with the help of the satellite broadcasts, which will feature content that Navalny's team is producing for their YouTube channels in exile. "I think it will be a long collaboration," Yulia Navalnaya told reporters in a short statement in Paris. She said Navalny's team was doing "our best" to keep reaching Russians on YouTube but the Kremlin has often tried to block the Western platform. "There is almost full censorship in Russia, and under a dictatorship it is very difficult to spread information," she said. Since Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Moscow has outlawed all forms of public dissent and banned independent media and western social media. "We think it's really important that we are able to reach the Russian population as much as we can," said RSF head Thibaut Bruttin. The channel will launch on Wednesday, June 4, the day Navalny would have turned 49. The charismatic Navalny, Putin's main opponent, suddenly died in an Arctic penal colony on February 16, 2024. His family and supporters say he was killed on orders from Putin. Jim Phillipoff, project director of Svoboda Satellite at RSF, said the channel was important because it was bringing the content produced by Navalny's team to Russian-speaking broadcast audiences. He described the Navalny team as "pioneers" in countering years of Kremlin propaganda that combines "the glitz and glamour of western television" with Soviet-style messaging. "There's virtually no way to significantly penetrate the traditional television space in Russia except by satellite," Phillipoff added. Approximately 45 percent of Russians use satellite signals to watch television, he noted. With all top Kremlin critics either behind bars or in exile, Navalny's legacy has been fading in Russia. as/sjw/js

He launched modern conservatism, but what do we really know about William F. Buckley?
The sixth of 10 children born to a self-made Texan oilman and his wife, a New Orleans patrician and ardent Anglophobe, Buckley spent his early years abroad until the clan settled into a Connecticut estate, Great Elm, tended to by a retinue of servants. He later claimed he spoke Spanish and French before English; his trademark lockjaws blended Romance inflections with a Southern drawl inherited from his parents, and elocution lessons. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Related : Throughout the Roaring Twenties William F. Buckley Sr, or Will, raked in a fortune on Wall Street, diversifying his portfolio wisely; the family navigated the Depression in suburban comfort. A skinny, sickly boy with a passion for music, Bill stood out with his gift for gab and yen for combative debate. The Buckleys were adamant isolationists, anti-New Deal, scorning financial regulations and programs for the poor. Bill followed his older brothers to Millbrook, a boarding school, then a stint in the military at the tail end of World War II, which entrenched his commitment to caste. At Yale he soared as scholar and impresario, a quick study. 'Those who got to know Buckley noticed the disjunction between Buckley the ideologue and Buckley the friend,' Tanenhaus notes. 'He was unsparing in debate, harsh, even malicious, but during those contests 'he got rid of all his aggressions, said a classmate. And what was left over, among friends, was very mellow.'' Advertisement From these opening chapters the narrative flows briskly: Tanenhaus streamlines decades of research and interviews, punctuated by episodes such as Bill's courtship of Vancouver heiress Pat Taylor: taller (in heels), wealthier, and more right-wing than her husband, the Anglican queen to his Catholic king. The author's account of their extravagant wedding carries a whiff of the society columnist, dutifully chronicling the soirées that bookended the ceremony. Their son Christopher, born in 1952, rounded out the family. Journalism beckoned: in 1955 Buckley debuted the National Review, a weekly free-markets doppelganger to the Communist-adjacent Partisan Review and forum for exchanges on government, economics, foreign policy, and what the founder envisioned as the voice for a proper hierarchy. As befits a former editor of the New York Times Book Review, Tanenhaus meticulously depicts the high tide of postwar print reportage, writers poised for celebrity, ready for their close-ups — Buckley protégés like The lavish set pieces are all there, familiar yet graced with fresh insights: Buckley's espousal of Related : Advertisement The Kennedy administration offered novel assaults on liberalism. The reactionary Buckleys mirrored the progressive Massachusetts dynasty — Wall Street tycoons as patriarchs, a rough-and-tumble household, heated discourse on global events — but with conflicting views on public service. (Bill was just four days younger than Robert F. Kennedy, a champion of racial equality.) When the Republican center of gravity migrated toward the Sun Belt, Buckley embraced Barry Goldwater, sensing the Arizona maverick was shifting the Overton Window. Those Great Elm affectations did not always fit amid a party whose emerging power brokers tried to connect with middle- and working-class white voters. As Tanenhaus writes, 'Bill Buckley had been a great figure. But that time had passed. A new ideological battle was forming — rather, a new cultural battle' among the ranks of the GOP, the genteel National Review 'outmoded,' 'Blue Bloods' receding before 'Blue Collars.' Yet this realignment presented unexpected opportunities for the ruling caste, 'through pro-business policies of deregulation and reduced corporate taxes.' Advertisement Tanenhaus's Buckley is less an ironclad ideologue than a professional contrarian, performative to his core. His beliefs evolved; after the Six-Day War he walked back overt antisemitism, for instance, and fervidly advocated for Israel. Clear-eyed about its protagonist's merits and moral defects, 'Buckley' is, of course, a biography not just of a prominent influencer but also of a potent movement, fomented in both National Journal and Bill's long-running PBS show, Firing Line, a precursor to podcasts . He remained vigorous until his death in 2008, and if alive today would no doubt opine fulsomely on divisive issues, as Tanenhaus links the Cold War's disinformation campaigns with social media, Buckley's brand of blacklists and censorship with the current pall over prestigious institutions such as Yale, Harvard, and Columbia. Related : At his best Buckley was an audacious provocateur, a shock to a complacent system; yet his story is incomplete without the rancor he spread like gospel. Tanenhaus is fair to this complicated pundit — more than fair — and the payoff is worth it. 'Buckley' is a milestone contribution to our understanding of the American Century.
