King Charles’ Goddaughter India Hicks Reveals “Fast-Moving” Skin Cancer Diagnosis
India Hicks, entrepreneur and goddaughter of King Charles III, has revealed she is undergoing treatment for a “fast-moving” form of skin cancer. The update was shared through her Substack and covered by the New York Post.
Hicks described discovering an unusual patch on her lower leg that quickly led to a biopsy and diagnosis. Surgeons removed the affected tissue, and she is now awaiting further results while encouraging her readers to take skin changes seriously. Her account details the emotional limbo of waiting for pathology, especially after witnessing King Charles and Princess Kate’s own cancer battles earlier in 2024.
A descendant of Queen Victoria and daughter of Lady Pamela Hicks, India has long remained close to the Royal Family. Her openness has been praised by dermatologists and health advocates who argue that early detection messaging from high-profile figures saves lives.
Hicks ended her message by urging followers to “get checked, even when it feels inconvenient,” reminding readers that vigilance remains the best defence against melanoma and related cancers.
