King Charles’ cancer may be under control, but according to a new report, it’s not going anywhere. While palace insiders have long said he’s managing the disease, a recent piece by Camilla Tominey in the Daily Telegraph makes it clear—his condition is considered incurable, though manageable. That’s not entirely unusual for older cancer patients, but still, it’s the kind of update the palace would rather keep quiet.
The report could reignite talk about the king’s health, especially after Prince Harry stirred the pot in a BBC interview where he admitted, “I don’t know how much longer my father has. He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile.”
Harry’s comments came after losing a legal fight over his security in the UK. During the interview, he got candid—saying his father has refused to talk, blaming him for the downgrade in protection after Harry stepped away from royal duties. Still, he added that he’s forgiven the family members who’ve hurt him, and that “life is precious.”
“I would love reconciliation with my family,” Harry said, acknowledging that “some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book.”
Meanwhile, Charles has kept up royal duties, even if his schedule has been slightly adjusted since his diagnosis last year. He recently told the public he’s on “the other side” of his health scare and is now back to handling a full calendar of appearances.
Despite the positive spin, Tominey’s reporting suggests that behind palace walls, things might not be so optimistic. She writes, “The talk now is that he may die ‘with’ cancer, but not ‘of’ cancer following a rigorous treatment program.” She also claims Charles has no plans to move into Buckingham Palace—something long assumed would happen eventually.
A spokesperson for the king declined to comment on the report.
Tominey is no stranger to royal scoops—she was the first to report on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dating, and also revealed Meghan’s now-famous fallout with Kate Middleton. So when she talks, royal watchers tend to listen.
Her latest piece also hints at the possibility of a public reunion between Charles and Harry. The 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham might serve as a backdrop for a long-awaited reconciliation. Palace aides are reportedly looking into whether the event could offer a natural, no-pressure setting for father and son to come together again.
There’s hope this reunion might even include Harry and Meghan’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who haven’t seen their grandfather since 2022. Harry has previously said he doesn’t feel safe bringing his family to the UK and has even suggested some powerful palace insiders “want him dead.”
Tominey points out that part of the push for reconciliation may be about optics. “There is an awareness that the impasse cannot continue forever, not least if it starts to reflect badly on the king,” she writes.
So while Charles tries to keep calm and carry on, there’s a growing sense that both his health and his relationship with Harry might be reaching a turning point—one way or another.
