In his most personal message since he was diagnosed with cancer last February, the King has said that “the darkest moments of illness can be illuminated by the greatest compassion”. Charles, 76, has said that his own experience with the disease has given him a greater appreciation of the work that organisations and individuals do for those the 390,000 people who are diagnosed with cancer in the UK each year.
In a personally written message to those attending a reception in celebration of community-based cancer organisations tonight, the monarch said: “Each diagnosis, each new case, will be a daunting and at times frightening experience for those individuals and their loved ones. But as one among those statistics myself, I can vouch for the fact that it can also be an experience that brings into sharp focus the very best of humanity.
“It has certainly given me an even deeper appreciation of the extraordinary work undertaken by the remarkable organisations and individuals gathered here this evening, many of whom I have known, visited and supported over the years.
