Royal Insider Shares Statement on King Charles' Health
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. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 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.

King touched by Canadian welcome and is learning to 'live life' with cancer
'It was the warmest of welcomes and the fondest of returns to a nation and a people we love.' That was the message posted by Buckingham Palace after the King of Canada left the country, which he has now visited 20 times - but just once as monarch. A senior royal aide said King Charles and Queen Camilla were "very touched" by the reception they received in a realm in which they don't actually live. And yet it was an unusually forlorn-looking King, some might even say emotional, who had stood outside the Canadian Senate and then formally opened the new session of parliament, with a slight crack in his voice as he finished. Royals don't normally 'do' emotion, at least they do their very best to hide whatever feeling they have. But for some reason, King Charles seemed unable to do that on this occasion at the end of a short, but highly significant, visit. His mother, Queen Elizabeth, had made the same speech from the throne in 1957 when she came to Ottawa on her first visit as Queen of Canada. But King Charles is, by now, used to checking off 'firsts': first State Visit overseas, first visit to a realm, first Trooping the Colour, first Christmas broadcast... So, what happened on his first visit to Canada as King, that appeared to move him? Perhaps, as head of state of a country he loves so much, he's observed with some concern the unsettling threats from Donald Trump to make Canada the 51st State of the USA. As Canada's monarch, he will have regular of conversations with the new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, the Governor General (his representative in a Commonwealth Realm), and the leaders of Canada's indigenous communities – the First Nations, Inuit and Métis. Through those connections, Charles will have a better sense than many on our side of the Atlantic of how vulnerable Donald Trump's rhetoric has made them feel. We saw how Liberal leader Mark Carney turned around his party's fortunes in the general election campaign, which he went on to win, by spending much of his time opposing President Trump. The new tariffs between these two North American economies have disrupted trade and relations across the border. "Fear has united us," some crowds told me as they gathered outside the Canadian Senate before the arrival of King Charles and Queen Camilla. For them, the King had "without doubt" come to support the sovereignty and independence of Canada. Senior courtiers acknowledge that this is a "time of great international challenge". Mr Trump is back in the White House, defence alliances are being strained across the western world and support for Ukraine is seemingly not an American priority anymore. The royal source added: "What the king was able to do was show very strong support for Canada and what would be the point of being King of Canada if you didn't show support?" King Charles did not mention Donald Trump by name, but MPs and Senators when he re-worked the well-known phrase from the Canadian national anthem, and said in his speech: "The True North is indeed strong and free". "It's all about commending what is positive," said one of the King's senior aides. "And that's what the sovereign does, it's not the sovereign's job to start pointing fingers." So, what about the King's cancer diagnosis? He has kept up a punishing schedule in recent months (this week's trip to Canada and recent tours to Australia being two good examples) despite the 76-year old's ongoing treatment. "He has dealt with his illness in a very human way and the way he's engaging with the public at a very human level," the palace source said. "I think we now have a clear idea of what the Carolean age looks like and what it stands for - now and hopefully for many years to come. "The thing you learn about this illness [cancer] is that you just manage it - and that's what he does. The medical science has made incredible advances, and I genuinely see no difference in him." It means the King simply follows doctors' orders, keeps fit and has his treatment when he needs it. But given his strong sense of duty and a commitment to work that even Queen Camilla cannot stop, those around him simply try to lighten the load where they can.

RCMP honoured to participate in Royal Visit
OTTAWA, ON, May 27, 2025 /CNW/ - On this page Content Sunset Ceremonies Quick Facts: The Royal Family and the RCMP Associated Links Contacts The RCMP's Musical Ride was honoured to play an important role during His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty Queen Camilla's recent visit to Ottawa. On May 27, the Musical Ride provided a special Royal Escort to Their Majesties from the Bank of Canada to the Senate Building where The King participated in opening Canada's 45 th Parliament. The Royal Escort included 24 Musical Ride horses and members, including two pulling the box driven Landau — a carriage used to escort ambassadors, heads of state, the Governor General and members of the Royal Family during ceremonial events. The escort was joined by an RCMP Guidon party bearing the RCMP's Regimental Colour. For 130 years, the RCMP has shared many special moments with the Royal Family, including mutual gifting and receiving of horses with the late Queen Elizabeth II, escorting many Royal Family members during their official visits to Canada, and participating in coronations dating back to 1902. In April 2023, His Majesty King Charles III accepted the title and rank of RCMP Commissioner-in-Chief (he had been an Honorary RCMP Commissioner since 2012). In 2023, the RCMP presented His Majesty King Charles III with a Musical Ride horse named Noble. That horse became His Majesty's new charger, ridden for Trooping the Colour parades. The RCMP was proud to participate in this Royal Visit, a momentous and historic occasion that underscored the RCMP's unique role as both a national police service and an iconic Canadian symbol. It is a privilege to represent tradition, honour and pride alongside the Canadian Crown. Canadian Sunset Ceremonies Want to see the Musical Ride? They will perform at their home in Ottawa during the RCMP's Canadian Sunset Ceremonies from June 26 to 29. Over the summer, the Musical Ride will be touring Ontario, Alberta, Quebec and the Northwest Territories. Visit the Musical Ride Tour Schedule to find an event happening near you. Quick facts: The Royal Family and the RCMP The RCMP's relationship with the Royal Family began in 1897 when members of the North-West Mounted Police paraded for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in London, England. In 1904, King Edward VII conferred the title of Royal to the organization, which created the Royal North-West Mounted Police. In the century-plus since these events, the RCMP – and in particular, the Musical Ride – has shared a special bond with the Royal Family, specifically with the late Queen Elizabeth II. The late Queen expressed particular interest in the RCMP officers on parade during her father's coronation as King George VI. During the late Queen Elizabeth II's reign, the RCMP presented her with eight horses: Burmese (1969), Centenial (1973), James (1998), George (2009), Elizabeth (2012), Sir John (2016), and Kluane and Darby (2019). On September 19, 2022, five members of the RCMP Musical Ride led the funeral procession for Queen Elizabeth II in London, England, at her request. Four of the members were mounted on former Musical Ride horses that had been presented as gifts from the RCMP during her reign. This tradition of gifting horses continued in 2023 when the RCMP gifted King Charles III a horse named Noble, in recognition of the RCMP's 150 th anniversary. The RCMP has had a direct and personal link to The King, who has been an Honorary RCMP Commissioner since 2012 and recently became our Commissioner-in-Chief.
