This is the year King Charles III and other members of the Royal Family were forced to learn a painful lesson: it is impossible to have privacy even during their time of need.
His Majesty announced to the world that he had been diagnosed with cancer and decided to exercise his right to privacy by not revealing the type of illness he was battling.
Despite Buckingham Palace’s best efforts to protect King Charles, it did not take long for leaks, breaches, and rumors to hit the internet.
This week, one of the most brutal and outrageous rumors surfaced via Carole Malone. The journalist and commentator claimed King Charles was lying about his illness.
The TV personality revealed the following:
HAS KING CHARLES GOT CANCER OR NOT?
Strange exchange between Carole & Jeremy Vine today. 👇
Carole Malone:
“He hasn’t got cancer….I can’t say what it is but I know.”Since the Royal Family/The Monarchy has a history of lying & cover ups it’s not unfair to question what they… pic.twitter.com/0Q7tj8Lad8

An insider told In Touch: “After announcing that King Charles was battling cancer, the Palace insisted that he “remains wholly positive about his treatment.” But it’s far worse than anyone knows. He has pancreatic cancer and has a maximum of two years to live.”
In a bizarre twist of events, now King Charles’s family has apparently taken part in sharing some private information about his significant health issues.
Peter Phillips, Princess Anne‘s son, spoke to Sky News Australia to share more details about his uncle’s cancer recovery.
He claimed that King Charles was frustrated by the treatment and added: “I think ultimately he’s hugely frustrated. He’s frustrated that he can’t get on and do everything that he wants to be able to do. But he is very pragmatic; he understands that there’s a period of time when he really needs to focus on himself. But at the same time, he is always pushing his staff and everybody—his doctors and nurses—to be able to say ‘Actually can I do this, can I do that?’ I think the overriding message would be that he’s obviously very keen to get back to a form of normality and is probably frustrated that recovery is taking a little longer than he would probably want it to.”
However, King Charles has decided to fight back. A royal source from the Palace tells PEOPLE that he is optimistic about his treatment and adds: “King Charles is “positive” about his cancer treatment. The King’s team is said to be thinking about a summer schedule for The Monarch, 75, amid “amplified confidence” in light of the sophisticated treatment he is receiving. The King is “progressing well” in his treatment, a source close to the royal household says. The royal source adds, “He is positive, the doctors are optimistic.”
The media outlet claims that King Charles has not been “operationally constrained” so far, and Buckingham Palace is looking at “a summer diary.”
However, The Palace has been less clear about royal engagements and will rely on “medical advice nearer the time.”
According to the insider, King Charles’s team is hoping that he will be able to make public appearances in the summer.
The person in the know said: “Towards the summer when the risk of airborne illnesses eases, more engagements could happen outside, such as Trooping the Colour, the annual public celebration of the monarch’s birthday, which will take place on June 15. There could be a slow increase of numbers of people they are able to meet indoors.”
A second source shared that King Charles’s team is “planning as usual. One thing that has been wholly undiminished is his appetite for work.”
The monarchy is facing a lot of uncertainties.
In my opinion Carole Malone is talking out of her rear end why would anyone want to lie about having cancer it’s just not funny but at least she would of been paid very well for talking such a load of c–p I’ve had cancer and got over it and the one thing that you don’t do is lie about it as if it’s a joke Carole Malone if you haven’t anything sensible to say just keep quiet
