An adviser linked to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is stirring controversy after claiming that King Charles and Kate Middleton may have developed cancer as a result of the COVID-19 vaccine. Both the King and his daughter-in-law were revealed last year to be undergoing cancer treatment, though neither has connected their illnesses to vaccination, reported by The Daily Beast.
Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist known for promoting anti-vaccine views, made the suggestion while preparing for a speech at Nigel Farage’s Reform Party conference in Birmingham, England. Malhotra advises MAHA Action, a group tied to Kennedy, and has repeatedly argued that mRNA vaccines pose risks despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary.

We have several published mechanisms of how the mRNA vaccine can increase the risk of cancer confirmed by… Steven Hatfill,” Malhotra was expected to say during his address, according to remarks shared ahead of the event, as reported by The Telegraph. He added, “This is also supported by one of Britain’s most eminent oncologists, Angus Dalgleish, who is happy for me to share today that he believes it is highly likely members of the Royal Family developed cancer because of the COVID jab.
Mainstream medical organizations, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Cancer Institute, have all said there is no evidence that COVID vaccines cause cancer or increase the risk of developing it.
Malhotra’s position aligns him with Hatfill, a senior adviser in the Department of Health and Human Services. Hatfill gained notoriety during the Trump administration for pushing hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID despite studies showing it was ineffective and sometimes harmful. He has since claimed that mRNA vaccines may be linked to a so-called “cancer signal,” again going against established scientific consensus.
One paper frequently cited by Malhotra and Hatfill, published this year in the Journal of Independent Medicine, suggested the existence of “COVID-19 mRNA-Induced Turbo Cancers.” Experts say the paper is based on anecdotes and speculative mechanisms rather than hard evidence at the population level.
Angus Dalgleish, emeritus professor of oncology at the University of London, has also spoken publicly about his belief that boosters could accelerate cancer progression, though his views have been dismissed within the wider oncology community.
Malhotra told the Daily Beast last month that Kennedy and Trump were pushing to ban mRNA vaccines entirely in the near future. “There are people within the Trump administration, as well as among Trump’s family, who agree with RFK Jr. that there are so-called ‘injuries’ caused by the vaccine,” Malhotra claimed, although neither Kennedy nor Trump has medical qualifications.
The political backdrop adds another layer to the story. Farage, who now leads the Reform Party and was a central figure in the Brexit movement, is a close ally of Donald Trump. He met with Trump at the White House this week.
Shortly after reports surfaced about plans to remove mRNA vaccines from the market, a wave of departures hit the CDC, a sign of turmoil around vaccine policy. Trump then publicly challenged pharmaceutical companies to prove their vaccines work, suggesting the issue is becoming a focal point in U.S. politics.
While Malhotra and his allies continue to spread doubts, health authorities maintain that vaccines remain safe and effective, and no credible data links them to cancer. For now, the claims remain unproven but politically potent, especially as election season approaches.
