‘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.

2025 Queen Mother Champion Chase Odds & Betting Guide
There is nothing quite like the breathless and exhilarating sight of watching top-class chasers tackling Cheltenham's formidable fences at ferocious speeds. Cue the Queen Mother Champion Chase. Usually run at an unrelenting gallop, day two's marquee event has a rich history and reputation for providing high drama and it will be fascinating to see if the best two-miler around, Jonbon, can finally gain the Festival success his abilities merit. Nicky Henderson's nine-year-old will never have a better chance to land this event with several of his chief rivals rerouted to other engagements or sidelined. Previous Festival scorer Marine Nationale should enjoy the rigours of this event and could prove the chief danger, but he must improve again to trouble the hot favourite on betting sites, even if the drying spring ground should play to his strengths. Champion Chase 2025 Odds Champion Chase 2025 Betting Preview – The Main Contenders Jonbon – The Favourite to Beat? It is easy to comprehend why Jonbon heads the Cheltenham odds for the Champion Chase. He arrives at Cheltenham looking for a six-timer and, in some ways, he mirrors Arne Slot's Liverpool in that he can be flashy in success or can win ugly. The only slight concern would be that Jonbon's best six career performances have all been recorded away from Cheltenham and he has been beaten there three times in his career. In fairness, one of those defeats came at the hands of Constitution Hill and another when he made a horrendous error, and his stable were in poor form. If he can reproduce the level which has seen him win the Clarence House and Tingle Creek Chases, he is going to be impossible to beat. Key Challengers – Can Anyone Upset the Favourite? While Jonbon looks extremely difficult to beat here with conditions to suit, the likes of Marine Nationale are capable of troubling the hot favourite with his form improving with each start over fences. Fourteen of the past 24 winners of this race had won at the Festival previously so the 2023 Supreme Novices Hurdle winner fits that criteria and he posted a career-best over fences behind Solness at the Dublin Racing Festival last time out. The drying ground could also be in his favour so he could be a good each-way play on horse racing betting sites against the favourite. The front-running Solness could also be a threat if he mirrors the level of performance that he managed at Leopardstown where his precise fencing technique enabled him to build an unimpeachable advantage over his rivals. Champion Chase betting trends Using trends can be a shrewd way of picking the winner of the Champion Chase on betting apps. Below are a few of the more reliable trends and statistics: Six odds-on favourites beaten in the last nine years. 30 of the past 38 winners were aged seven to nine years of age. Only five of the past 38 winners were aged 10 or older. 18 of the past 20 winners had run just 2-3 times earlier that season. Responsible Gambling Bettors should always gamble responsibly online. Always remain within a budget and never exceed it. Never chase your losses. Anyone can lose a bet even if they know a lot about horse racing. It is easy to get carried away with Cheltenham when free bets and other promotions are available in abundance, so remember to remain in control of your time and betting. Bettors can use responsible gambling tools provided by betting sites such as deposit limits, loss limits and self-exclusion among others. Should you wish to seek help for gambling-related issues, there are several charities, organisations and healthcare providers who offer support and information:
