In response to these reports, the palace released a statement and to counter, but the reality could be more dire.

"He's very frail. The situation is desperate," a source told InTouch after the reports started appearing . "William is totally distracted by his wife Kate's physical and emotional issues and the problems in their marriage. He also can't seem to control his fury over Harry and Meghan." The problems in Prince William's marriage with Kate Middleton stem from her cancer diagnosis, which was revealed shortly after the king's own diagnosis.

The palace did say he would be attending an event to close the week.

According to InTouch, King Charles' diagnosis has been an "open secret" among those who work in Buckingham Palace. "Many courtiers believe Charles' cancer is worse than they're making it out to be," the source tells Intouch. "Even before the diagnosis, there were concerns about his health."

Buckingham Palace confirmed Charles' diagnosis in February, scheduling regular treatments and postponing his public duties until further notice. "Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual."
