King Charles is giving a rare update on his cancer treatment journey.
The 76-year-old monarch revealed what he found “can help” amid treatment during a conversation with Stamford Collis, a 22-year-old Exeter University student with cancer, at The Education and Skills Garden Party at Buckingham Palace on May 14.

“He was asking me about the treatment I have starting in June and spoke to me about food and diet. He also asked me if I had undergone radiation treatment, which I had earlier this year,” Collis recalled of the conversation to The Telegraph. The royal reportedly said, “It’s sometimes about the diet and what you eat. It can help.”
Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer and had begun treatment in February 2024. The month prior, the King did have a procedure to treat an enlarged prostate, but a palace spokesperson clarified that he was not diagnosed with prostate cancer.
“The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible,” Buckingham Palace said in February 2024. “His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.”
For three months, the King stepped away from the spotlight as per doctors’ orders, but he resumed his public-facing duties in April 2024 and has served as usual since then. On March 27, the Palace announced that King Charles had been hospitalized briefly due to a reaction he had to his cancer treatment.
The King was at The London Clinic “following scheduled and ongoing medical treatment for cancer this morning,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement at the time. “The King experienced temporary side effects that required a short period of observation in [the] hospital.”
