\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tRoyal watchers have followed King Charles III\u2019s health battle after he was diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer in February 2024. \u201cDuring The King\u2019s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,\u201d a statement from Buckingham Palace read at the time. \u201cSubsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The princess, 47, underwent multiple surgeries in the spring and early summer of 2021, before temporarily stepping back from public life as she battled exhaustion. Thankfully, Princess Charlene recovered sufficiently enough to resume her public schedule in 2022.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Prince Albert has the unfortunate distinction of being one of the first members of a royal family to test positive for COVID-19<\/a> in March 2020. He was treated at Princess Grace Hospital and continued working through his convalescence.<\/p>\nA statement released by the palace at the time promised that Prince Albert was \u201cnot worrying at all\u201d about his condition. The prince encouraged Monaco\u2019s residents to \u201crespect the measures of confinement and to limit contact with others to a minimum.\u201d<\/p>\n
When his distant relative King Charles III<\/strong> (then Prince Charles) was diagnosed with COVID-19 shortly thereafter, some suspected Charles may have been infected by Albert<\/a> at a royal function.<\/p>\n\u201cI was at a roundtable for his foundation, but we never shook hands,\u201d Prince Albert later told French radio network RTL on March 26, 2020. \u201cI was at the other end of the table, way far away.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cWe nodded hello to one another, so I don\u2019t think I can really be accused of contaminating him. There were a lot of other people around at the congress center, and I know he continued his schedule afterwards for a number of days. [He] had a number of other opportunities to catch it.\u201d<\/p>\n
More recently, King Charles has battled an unspecified type of cancer<\/a> after being diagnosed in early 2024. He offered a rare update on his health<\/a> in a December 2025 TV speech about cancer prevention, where he reminded viewers that \u201cearly diagnosis quite simply saves lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cIndeed, today I am able to share with you the good news that thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to \u2018doctors\u2019 orders\u2019, my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the New Year,\u201d he announced. \u201cThis milestone is both a personal blessing and a testimony to the remarkable advances that have been made in cancer care in recent years; testimony that I hope may give encouragement to the 50 percent of us who will be diagnosed with the illness at some point in our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
