Britain’s royals suffered a double blow last year: two of the most senior members of the family are battling cancer. King Charles III was diagnosed in early February 2024, just 17 months into his reign. Six weeks later, the 75-year-old monarch’s daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton , revealed that she had also been diagnosed with cancer . Catherine underwent “a course of preventative chemotherapy,” and in January 2025 she announced that she is in remission. In a recorded message released on December 12, 2025, King Charles said he’s made good progress so his “cancer treatment can be reduced in the New Year.”
Here’s a roundup, which we’ll keep updated, of the latest news about the king and the princess’s health, and how Britain’s royal family is handling the situation.
