King Charles recently turned to medicinal cannabis as a cure for killer cancer, it has been claimed by well-placed Buckingham Palace insiders via Radar Online.
The 76-year-old monarch is a lover of alternative medicines, gardens and wacky wellness cures and he has turned to the mind-bending drug in a bid to eke out a few more months as the UK’s head of state.
It has been noted that some scientists believe medicinal cannabis could kill or inhibit cancer cells without impacting normal cells, revealing its potential as a treatment rather than simply a pain relief medication.
And a palace source told the outlet: “Charles is trying every cure in the book – and now some which aren’t! The cancer diagnosis has rocked him to the core and he feels there’s no harm in trying something experimental.
“He has always been a champion of homeopathic medicines and cures and sees there is no danger in trying the cannabis route. He’s read all the studies around its benefits and is giving it a go.”
The sovereign is desperate to follow in the footsteps of daughter-in-law Kate Middleton, who recently revealed she’d beaten the disease after months of treatment.
The King’s Music Room saw him celebrate Commonwealth Day by sharing songs he likes from across the family of nations…with drug-loving reggae icon Bob Marley being a favourite with his hit Could You Be Loved on the list.
The insider said: “Charles wants to make it until at least his 77th birthday – but knows he may not as he is now in so much pain.
“Bob Marley knew all about the supposed medicinal benefits of weed and Charles is now very much an expert on the subject!”
The full playlist released by Charles includes tracks by Kylie Minogue, Beyoncé and Grace Jones. Brit stars Raye and Davido also appear.
He said: “Throughout my life music has meant a great deal to me. I know that is also the case for so many others. It has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories flooding back from the deepest recesses of our memory, to comfort us in times of sadness, and to take us to distant places.
“But perhaps, above all, it can lift our spirits to such a degree, and all the more so when it brings us together in celebration. In other words, it brings us joy. So this is what I particularly wanted to share: songs which have brought me joy.”
Middleton is officially cancer-free – with RadarOnline.com revealing earlier this year the Princess of Wales had announced she was in remission four months after she completed cancer treatment.
Middleton, gave an update on her health after a surprise visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, where she underwent chemotherapy.
