King Charles III’s cancer has reportedly been described as “totally incurable,” but medical experts suggest the condition is manageable, with the expectation that he will more likely die with cancer rather than of it. Royal journalist Camilla Tominey stated that the King has responded well to treatment and is continuing with royal duties, though on a slightly reduced schedule.
Despite signs of improvement, Charles has decided not to move into Buckingham Palace after its $463 million renovation, which is expected to finish in 2027. Instead, he will remain at Clarence House, his official residence since 2003. Insiders say this decision reflects his preference for privacy and stability during his ongoing health journey.
Sources close to the palace say the King has been using art as an emotional outlet, spending time painting watercolor landscapes at his countryside estate. These works, which he sees as part of his personal legacy, are being sold for $10,000 each on his official website. Those close to him describe the paintings as deeply reflective of his current emotional state and a way to find peace amid uncertainty.
Although King Charles has publicly stated he feels he’s “on the other side” of the health scare, Prince William and Princess Kate are said to be quietly preparing to take on more prominent roles in the monarchy—possibly sooner than originally planned.
