King Charles' Cancer Is Incurable, Bombshell Report Suggests
The report essentially confirms long-standing rumors that the king's cancer is considered manageable but ultimately incurable, which is the case for many older individuals afflicted by the disease.
Charles is 76.
The report will be unwelcome in the palace, as it will reignite speculation that the king's health is in a delicate state, rumors that were rekindled when Prince Harry said in a recent BBC interview that he didn't know how long his father had left to live.
Charles' aides have consistently briefed reporters that he is, broadly speaking, winning his battle against cancer, and the king himself recently said he was on 'the other side' of the health crisis.
The king is back to essentially running a full diary after being diagnosed with cancer last year, albeit with some modifications.
The report, by the respected royal writer and associate editor of the U.K. Daily Telegraph, Camilla Tominey, also claimed that Charles will never move into Buckingham Palace due to his health struggles.
'The talk now is that he may die 'with' cancer, but not 'of' cancer following a rigorous treatment program,' she wrote.
A spokesperson for the king declined to comment.
Tominey, who was the first to break the news about Prince Harry and Meghan dating and also about the latter's row with Kate Middleton, added that planning for Charles' 80th birthday in 2028, while 'very tentative,' is going ahead.
Tominey also claimed that Charles and Harry could be publicly reunited at the Invictus Games, in Birmingham in 2027, with palace aides quietly investigating whether the event could provide a suitable backdrop for a long-awaited reconciliation.
It is understood officials hope any reconciliation would include Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The king last saw the children in 2022. Harry has said he can't bring his family safely to the U.K. and hinted some powerful palace figures want him dead.
Intriguingly, Tominey suggests that a reconciliation might be considered because of the negative impact the narrative of estrangement is having on the king's reputation.
She writes: 'There is an awareness that the impasse cannot continue forever, not least if it starts to reflect badly on the king.'
Prince Harry said, in a bitter interview with the BBC following a comprehensive legal defeat on his security arrangements, that he does not know how long his cancer-hit father has left to live because the king won't speak to him.
Harry also said he won't bring his family to the U.K., blamed his father for his security being reduced after leaving the royal family, and said he had 'forgiven' those family members who had hurt him.
He added, 'Some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book but I would love reconciliation with my family.'
The prince continued, 'There is a lot of control and ability in my father's hands. Ultimately, this whole thing could be resolved through him.'
Appearing emotional, Harry said, '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.'

Knebworth 2024 hint as Oasis star Noel Gallagher heaps praise on brother Liam
Noel Gallagher has given his inaugural interview since the commencement of the Oasis reunion tour, lauding his brother Liam for "smashing it" while confessing that his own legs "turned to jelly" on the opening night. He remained tight-lipped when questioned about the likelihood of the band performing at Knebworth next year, a milestone concert that many fans are eagerly anticipating and now hope might be possible. The 58 year old guitarist and Oasis songwriter chatted with his mates Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent on TalkSport about his favourite football team, Manchester City, before the conversation shifted to the monumental tour. This follows after Peggy Gallagher was spotted with a big star at an Oasis gig as she finally gets to see her sons' reunion tour. READ MORE: Nottingham Forest v Brentford player ratings as sensational duo on a different level in super win READ MORE: Nottingham Forest transfer need is clear but one move won't be beaten amid 'telepathic' beauty Regarding the reunion with Liam, Noel expressed: "I've been completely blown away. It's difficult to put into words. It's kind of every night is the crowd's first night, so every night has kinda got the same energy to it. But it's been truly amazing. I'm not usually short for words, but I can't really answer." Reflecting on the first night in Cardiff, the band's initial gig in nearly two decades, he added: "We're not really a band who kind of have huddles before we go on or anything like that.", reports the Mirror. "I can't speak for anywhere else, but for me personally, I grossly underestimated what I was getting into. After about five minutes I was like can I just go back to the dressing room and start this again. "I don't mind telling you my legs went to jelly about halfway through the second song and I could have done with going back. It has been an amazing thing." Noel then shared some warm words about his brother Liam. The duo have made a habit of walking out hand-in-hand for every show in Dublin, Edinburgh, London, their hometown of Wembley, and the opening weekend in Cardiff. Speaking about their on-stage embraces, he said: "We are not those kinda guys. It is great just to be back with Bonehead and Liam and just be doing it again. I guess when it is all said and done we will reflect on it. It's good being back in the band with Liam, I forgot how funny he was!". Commenting on Liam's universally praised vocals, he said: "Liam is smashing it, I am proud of him. Having fronted a band for 16 years I know how hard that is. I couldn't do the stadium thing like he does, I have gotta say man I look at him and think 'good for you mate'." When asked about Knebworth or the end of the tour, Noel responded with a chuckle: "Lets talk about football." He discussed Manchester City's recent victory and expressed his excitement for Oasis' upcoming performance at the River Plate stadium in Argentina this November. He added: "It's the penultimate show, and we've played there a few times before. Without a doubt, Argentina is one of our top five favourite places to perform worldwide. "We are going to Toronto on Friday and then we're in the States for the best part of a month and then Mexico and then back for two more Wembleys. "When it all started there were a few people who I thought would come looking for tickets but after the first gig my phone exploded. Once they had seen it online there was a mad scramble for it." He confessed it was extraordinary to witness countless supporters outside the venues singing along to the performances and remarked: "Something else is happening that we haven't put our fingers on yet." Oasis are touring for the first time in 16 years and have now finished their UK and Ireland dates apart from two additional Wembley performances when they return from America. Tickets became available last year and triggered extraordinary demand. The concerts, which kicked off in Cardiff on July 4, have garnered glowing reviews across the board and generated emotional moments both amongst audiences and on stage.

Research says playing Zelda can make you feel happier in life
Video games are not merely a form of digital recreation and a means to blow off some steam. Fitness games have proved their worth at boosting mental well-being, while some are finding a purpose in addressing phantom limb pain and helping people with mobility issues in their wrists and hands. As per new research, playing an open-world title like Zelda can significantly increase your happiness. What's the latest on Zelda and science? A team of experts from Imperial College in London, Kyushu Sangyo University, and Georgia State University conducted a randomized test involving more than 500 students. The students were asked to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and watch Studio Ghibli films such as My Neighbor Totoro or Kiki's Delivery Service. At the end of the study, students were presented with a questionnaire that sought to gauge their sense of exploration, calm, mastery, skill, purpose, and meaning in life after exploring the well-received open-world adventure. Based on the students' responses, the researchers came to the conclusion that playing the Zelda series game can help cultivate a sense of happiness by inspiring a spirit of wonder and exploration. Here's a notable excerpt from the research paper: Recommended Videos 'Engaging with these archetypal narratives can prompt a sense of mission: players feel they are contributing to a cause bigger than themselves, even if it is within a fictional world. This 'bigger than self' feeling can be deeply meaningful. Furthermore, many players find calm and meditative moments in the game by simply riding through open fields, quietly gathering resources, or watching sunrises atop tall peaks.' Why does this research matter? Games are often seen as a form of distraction, but after conducting their research, the experts note that they are a means of 'active escapism' that revitalizes energy. That, in turn, helped cope with the feeling of stress, anxiety, and burnout in the students who were a part of the study. Andreas B. Eisingerich, co-author of the research paper and a professor at the Imperial College Business School, remarked that engaging with the world of Zelda can 'actively nurture essential human capacities—exploration, tranquility, purpose-finding, and happiness—and, thus, offer valuable pathways to enhance everyday well-being.' Interestingly, experts claim that watching the nostalgia-evoking Studio Ghibli films and also playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can trigger increased happiness, calm, purpose, and a sensation of discovering meaning in life.

‘Star Wars' actor Mark Hamill reveals he considered leaving the US when Trump won reelection
"Star Wars" actor Mark Hamill revealed to a UK newspaper that President Donald Trump's election nearly convinced him to leave America, telling his wife their options were moving to London or Ireland. Hamill is known for playing Luke Skywalker in the "Star Wars" films and for voicing the Joker in many "Batman" adaptations. He is also one of Hollywood's most outspoken liberal actors — a fact The Times' contributing editor Matt Rudd observed amid his lengthy interview. "Today he fights not with a lightsaber but with a keyboard," Rudd wrote. "Having left Facebook because he was mad at Zuckerberg and Twitter because he was mad at Musk, he now expresses his horror at the state of America via Bluesky." The writer noted further, "I avoid mentioning Trump until the end of our conversation because it's a subject that risks hijacking an entire afternoon. Sure enough, my late request for Hamill's state of the union results in a lengthy monologue." During the extensive interview with the British daily newspaper, Hamill was candid about the struggles he endured after Trump won the election in November. He was an outspoken supporter of then-President Joe Biden and also supported former Vice President Kamala Harris as Biden's appointed successor for the Democratic Party's nomination. The reality of the Trump administration, he says, is only something he can cope with by imagining it as a political thriller. "The bullying, the incompetence, the people in place… The only way I can deal with it without going crazy and wanting to open my veins in a warm tub is to look at it like a thick, sprawling political novel," the 'Star Wars' actor said. "It's entertaining in a way because this could actually be the end. Our status in the world has been crippled and that will reverberate for decades. Making Canada a 51st state? Do you know how offensive that is? And then taking over Greenland and renaming the Gulf of Mexico. The distractions are hilarious." "I still believe there are more honest, decent people than there are the Maga crowd," he says. "If I didn't, I'd move back to England," Hamill added. The actor noted that he indeed considered moving elsewhere in the English-speaking world as other famous liberal actors have done. The Times noted that "when Trump was re-elected, [Hamill] gave his wife a choice: London or Ireland." "She's very clever," Hamill said, recalling the conversation. "She didn't respond right away but a week later she said, 'I'm surprised you would allow him to force you out of your own country.' That son of a b----, I thought. I'm not leaving." Fox News Digital reached out to the White House, and a spokeswoman blasted the actor."Since Mark has decided to stay in the United States, he will get to enjoy the many wins President Trump is securing for the American people — and really, who can blame him for seconding guessing a plan to move to the same place as Rosie O'Donnell…" the White House spokeswoman replied.
