‘Incurable': Palace insider shares heartbreaking King Charles cancer update
King Charles' cancer is reportedly 'incurable', according to a palace insider.
The beloved monarch, 76, first told the public that he was battling cancer just over 18 months ago.
Despite putting on a brave face for the public, royal insider Camilla Tominey has revealed that sources have told her that while Charles' cancer is currently under control, it is ultimately incurable.
'The talk now is that he may die 'with' cancer, but not 'of' cancer following a rigorous treatment program,' she revealed in The Telegraph.
Tominey, who was the first reporter to break the news of Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton's falling out, went on to confirm that, with the expectation that the King's cancer can be kept at bay, there are currently 'tentative' plans in place for Charles' 80th birthday in 2028.
Tominey also claimed that Charles would never move into Buckingham Palace due to his health struggles. He currently lives at Clarence House with his wife, Queen Camilla.
The palace is unlikely to welcome Tominey's report, according to the Daily Beast, as it will likely reignite rumours about the King's fragile health.
The fresh claims about Charles' health come after his son, Prince Harry, sparked speculation when he said in a BBC interview that he wasn't sure how much time his father had left.
The last time Charles addressed his cancer journey was mere weeks ago, when he told a royal fan that he was 'on the other side' of his health crisis.
Elsewhere in Tominey's report, the royal reporter claimed that King Charles and Prince Harry's much-talked-about reunion could finally happen at the Invictus Games in Birmingham, UK, in 2027.
It's believed that palace aides are currently investigating how a potential reunion could work, and are hopeful it would also involve Harry and Meghan's children, Prince Archie and Lilibet, who the King hasn't seen since 2022.
Charles was first diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February last year and has been undergoing treatment as an outpatient ever since.
He was forced to cancel all public-facing duties for several weeks, but returned in April and has since travelled – including to Australia last October – and hosted incoming state visits for international dignitaries, all while continuing his recovery.
While it's not clear what type of cancer the King has, it's previously been reported that it was caught at a very early stage.

‘Huge hit': How Meghan feels about massive reaction to ‘dancing' video
IN LONDON It caused a storm of controversy and divided viewers all over the world, but Meghan and her team are reportedly thrilled by the response to her birthing suite twerking video. The throwback video, which was posted on her Instagram account last week in honour of her and Prince Harry's daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday, shows the couple dancing to viral anthem Baby Mama in a bid to bring on labour. 'Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates … so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work – there was only one thing left to do!' she captioned it. It attracted plenty of both mockery and support, but also managed to rack up thousands of likes and millions of views. 'Meghan is very pleased with the video,' a source close to Harry and Meghan told the Daily Mail. 'In the UK, everyone's reaction has been a bit prudish, but everywhere else, particularly in America and especially with young people, it has been a huge hit. 'She and her team count [the video] as a 'win,' which can only be a boost for sales. Her new products are marketed at Americans and not at the UK market.' The video was part of a broader trend of Meghan posting more intimate and personal content of her personal life amid the launch of her new lifestyle business. She also shared a highlights video of herself and Harry with their two kids, Lili and her brother Archie, 6, enjoying a visit to Disneyland last week, describing it in the caption as 'two days of pure joy'. It was also reported this week that Meghan has plans to add hotels and restaurants to her growing empire, with The Sun revealing that she has trademarked her As Ever brand for 'hospitality services'. It will include places to stay, 'provision of food and drink', and temporary lodgings. It's certainly on theme for Meghan's regularly-expressed love of hosting, with the duchess remarking in the premiere episode of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan: 'When I have someone stay, one of my favourite things to do is prep the guest room.' Over the weekend, her As Ever page posted a picture of her running through the sea in a white dress, with the caption: 'So excited for all the good to come! Running into the weekend like [wave emoji].'
