King Charles Shared a Rare Personal Health Update Amidst His Ongoing Cancer Treatment

The personal moment occurred at a recent royal event with a British army veteran.

As King Charles continues his cancer treatment, he’s sharing a rare personal update. While the monarch has been largely mum on his health issues since publicly announcing he was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer back in February, he broke his silence on one of the unfortunate side effects he’d experienced. While making an appearance at the Army Flying Museum in Middle Wallop, Hampshire, on Monday, May 13, the British royal reportedly revealed he’d lost his sense of taste amidst his cancer treatment.

While talking with a British Army veteran named Aaron Mapplebeck, Prince Charles–who recently returned to his forward-facing public duties–shared the news after Mapplebeck revealed he no longer had a sense of taste after undergoing chemotherapy for testicular cancer last year, per The DailyMail.

According to the publication, the 75-year-old told the veteran that the same thing had happened to him. The publication did not reveal if Prince Charles shared when his condition occurred or whether it was temporary. Buckingham Palace has also been largely quiet on the monarch’s condition, merely sharing that the British sovereign was undergoing treatment.

Earlier that day, King Charles reunited with Prince William as he appointed his eldest son the colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corp–a title with ties to Prince Harry, who trained as an Army Air Corps pilot in 2009. With the appointment, Prince William became the head of his younger brother’s former regiment. King Charles appeared to be in good spirits during the ceremony, posing for pictures with Prince William and calling his son “a very good pilot indeed” in a speech at the event.

Just weeks ago, King Charles previously shared a positive update on his health issues while visiting a London cancer center on Tuesday, April 30. While admitting the diagnoses had been “a bit of a shock,” he reportedly told patients, "I'm all right, thank you very much. Not too bad,” when asked how he was doing.
