King Charles III is “responding really well” to his cancer treatment after revealing his diagnosis to the world earlier this year, according to a royal expert.
The UK’s monarch, 75, began outpatient treatment in February, and has since taken a slight step back from official duties to focus on his health.
“I am hearing that he’s actually responding genuinely, really well to cancer treatment,” royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths told “GB News.”
“And everyone in the royal household is feeling positive and upbeat about how he’s responding,” Griffiths said.
It appears as though the king really is hitting his stride when it comes to his recovery, as he recently returned from a quick trip to Scotland with his wife, Queen Camilla.
The couple, who last week celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary, spent a few days at Birkhall, their Highlands retreat located on the Balmoral estate, to mark the occasion.
Charles’ love for the plush estate, which is nestled on the banks of the River Muick, is well-known, as he often visits whenever time allows.
Charles has been forced to hit the brakes on much of his royal agenda since news of his ailing health came to light.
Just days before jetting off to Scotland, Charles was seen waving to well-wishers from the car as he headed to church at Sandringham.
The previous week, he was seen joining other royals for Easter Sunday service at Windsor Castle.
While he’s made an effort to avoid commenting on speculation about his health, Charles did speak out about his own battle just days after going public with the news.
The king said that well wishes from the public are “the greatest comfort and encouragement.”
“It is equally heartening to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all those organizations which support cancer patients and their families across the UK and wider world,” he said in a statement.
“My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater as a result of my own personal experience.”
The palace revealed Charles’ diagnosis after he underwent a procedure for an enlarged prostate. There, doctors discovered “a separate issue of concern” that requires treatment.
Buckingham Palace later clarified that the cancer was not prostate cancer.
Charles’ daughter-in-law Kate Middleton is currently undergoing cancer treatment following her diagnosis earlier this year.
The Princess of Wales, 42, noted that she is now in the early stages of undergoing “a course of preventative chemotherapy.”
