King Charles III has already returned to his royal duties after his shocking cancer diagnosis.
The king, who held his first meeting with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Wednesday, was candid about how overwhelmed he has been by the support he has received since announcing his cancer battle.
Charles’ cancer diagnosis came shortly after he was treated for an “enlarged prostate” at the London Clinic. It was during this period that cancer of the king was discovered.

On Wednesday, King Charles carried out his first royal duties since his cancer diagnosis was revealed by attending a meeting with Prime Minister Sunak at Buckingham Palace to discuss matters of government.
At the meeting, Sunak told Charles that it was “wonderful to see you looking so good,” to which the king joked, “It’s all done with a mirror.”
Sunak then assured Charles, “We are all behind you. The country is behind you,” prompting the king to reply, “I have received so many interesting messages and cards. It makes me cry most of the time.”
During Charles’ conversation with the Prime Minister, they discussed how the king’s cancer diagnosis has helped put important cancer charities in the spotlight.
“I hear there is more attention and interest in that great major cancer charity, most of which I have [a] patron for many years,” Charles said.
Sunak replied, “They are doing an amazing job all over the country.”
The Prime Minister previously calmed the minds of many by stating that King Charles’ cancer was detected early.
“Obviously, like everyone else, shocked and saddened, and just all our thoughts are with him and his family. Thankfully, this was caught earlier,” Sunak said on February 6 in a conversation with BBC Radio Five Live.

Charles has since personally dealt with his cancer diagnosis through Buckingham Palace. He expressed gratitude for the outpouring of public support.
“I would like to express my sincere thanks for the many messages of support and well wishes I have received recently,” the note signed by King Charles read.
“As everyone who has been affected by cancer will know, good thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement,” it continued. “It’s equally great to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped to promote public understanding and highlight the work of all the organizations that support cancer patients and their families across the UK and the wider world.”

The statement added, “My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is even greater as a result of my own personal experience.”
King Charles’ cancer diagnosis was revealed in an earlier statement from Buckingham Palace: “During The King’s recent hospital procedure for a benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”
It further read, “The King thanked his medical team for their quick intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains completely positive about his treatment and hopes to return to full civilian duties as soon as possible.”

According to a Buckingham Palace insider, Queen Camilla played a key role in King Charles’ recovery efforts, as she was his “strength and stay” as Prince Philip was to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
“He is his strength and remains so [Prince Philip] is for the late Queen. He will be great. He will rally him, he will buoy him. He is amazing. He equips him to do the work he needs to do,” the insider said Daily Mail.
Charles’ cancer diagnosis has also brought him close to his son, Prince Harry, who immediately flew to the UK following the news of his father’s health. Sources said the couple had a “brief meeting” before the King and Camilla were taken to Buckingham Palace, where a helicopter was waiting to take them back to Sandringham.
In a recent interview with “Good Morning America,” Harry seemed to agree that his father’s cancer diagnosis could heal the royal rift, noting that the “disease” brought the family together.
