King Charles’ cancer treatment ‘will continue in 2025’ with recovery ‘moving in a positive direction’
KING Charles' cancer treatment has been said to be continuing in 2025.
The King's recovery was "moving in a positive direction" but was still ongoing, reported in December.
A source told the broadcaster: "His treatment has been moving in a positive direction.
"As a managed condition the treatment cycle will continue into next year (2025)."
The King, who is still considered a "newbie monarch" in comparison with his mother's record-breaking tenure, has endured a difficult second year as sovereign.
He was diagnosed with cancer and had to deal with ongoing treatment, while his daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, was also being treated for the condition.
But a source said brave Charles had coped with the past year with a "determination to be as public as he was able" to reassure the nation about how much he could still do.
He has also been buoyed by Queen Camilla's support.
A source said: "Her natural warmth, resilience and sense of humour, as I'm sure any patient will tell you, is a wonderful thing to have.
"Of course it's been a stressful year for Her Majesty, too, but there was never a sense of despondency, only a determination that they would get through this, as with so many other challenging issues in the past."
