King Charles is preparing for this year’s Christmas celebration this year while battling cancer. His health has been unpredictable due to the treatment and multiple trips to the hospital. He is wanting this Christmas to be unforgettable in case he doesn’t get another.
British royals have already prepared for when the King’s health further deteriorates. Before that, the 77-year-old King wanted to celebrate and make memories during the festive season with his family.
An insider told US Weekly, “Charles prioritizes duty, but he’s also a family man who knows his time is precious. He wants a special last Christmas in case it’s his last.” It makes sense to cherish this time with loved ones, considering he’s still struggling to stay healthy.

His health issues have been challenging, but he is still determined to fulfil his duties. King Charles wants to take part in the St. Mary Magdalene Church annual walk on Christmas morning. Moreover, he will record a speech for Christmas. The insider added that nothing will prevent Charles from doing his duties. So he will take part in all the duties that a King is expected to do during the festivities.
The last update about the King’s health was given in September. He said he wasn’t doing too bad considering his diagnoses, prostate treatment and age. Meanwhile, the king is putting on a brave face for his family and loved ones.
The Christmas celebrations at Clarence House have already begun. Queen Camilla invited children with limited illnesses to decorate the Christmas tree. It was a heartwarming celebration where she served lunch to the children.
It was a pleasure to be at the best Christmas moment of the season…

Appreciating the gesture, one user posted, “It’s just so lovely that Queen Camilla, and others of course, does this for these very deserving children. It’s moving and joyful all at once.”
While the King is battling cancer, both Kate and Prince William are preparing to take on the new role. Prince William‘s preparation does not just include getting the throne but also handling the official duties and meetings while also taking care of the royal estate. Kate’s own recovery from cancer may also add challenges to the role she’ll be expected to play.
