Isn’t it a shame that people can’t have sympathy for someone who’s just had some horrific news. Can’t we just overlook background and politics and just show some sympathy for someone who above all else is a fellow human. Don't be such a Drama Queen. Nobody has wished any I'll towards Charlie, just pointed out the likely level of treatment he will receive versus that his "subjects" might expect.

Strange the statement from Buck House calls it a 'form of cancer', no?
Am I reading too much in to that choice of words?
A form of cancer sounds somehiw less serious than what most people would simply call cancer.
Perhaps I'm over thinking it though.

It’s just a way of keeping the actual diagnosis vague

Too quick to say it's not Prostate, but they discovered it while treating his prostate. I have a horrible feeling they are playing things down. Either way let's hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

Not gonna add to this thread anymore
I've said my bit, and I wish MY KING a speedy recovery.
The thread will no doubt descend into a platform of disrespect and hatred from our left leaning members, but let em.
Thankfully in this great country of ours they are in the minority
Goodnight all.

OK. Just out of interest.. What would you think the threshold is for going private with a cancer diagnosis. For example, how much would you likely to be earning per annum to make that decision. 60k? 70k? Would you class a person earning 80k per annum an idiot if he chose to keep with the NHS?

If I had my wife, son or daughter and they were seriously ill and they had a far better chance of survival by going private (and I could afford it and even if I couldn’t) then political posturing would go out of the window I’m afraid. I wouldn’t put my families life at risk just so I could boast about what a great guy I was because I went with the NHS and sacrificed a loved one in doing so. I guess it depends on what’s more important politics (something we have little impact on) or family (something we can do a lot about).

I guess it depends on what’s more important politics (something we have little impact on) or family (something we can do a lot about). It's not really as clear cut as that. There's no particularly strong evidence that survival rates are better in the private sector than the NHS as there are too many other variables (private patients often being younger and more healthy generally) and insurance companies imposing their own restrictions. Where you may gain is getting an earlier diagnosis and access to more expensive drugs for less common conditions. It's non urgent traetments (hip replacements etc) where private really wins out - getting treatment sometimes years earlier than NHS

You couldn't be more wrong. I unfortnately know more about cancer than I ever wanted to and whatever I might think about the institution of the monarchy I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone - not even Andrew, never mind Sarah or Charles. It's a horrible situation. If any good comes out of it then it's about raising awareness which is what Charles snd Fergie seem keen to do. And that is admirable.

I like Charlie. His green principles have never been in doubt and if those in power in the rest of the world followed had followed him then this world would be a much better place. Get well soon fella.

All the best your majesty Has anybody made sure Meghan is ok? Given the rift between Harry and Charles, I think the fact Harry is flying back so soon to see him is very telling.

I've experienced several family members die of cancer, including my dad and grandad, and know what a terrible disease it is. Just getting a cancer diagnosis can be utterly devastating even before any treatment starts, with the constant hope (and worry) that it will be completely successful. I hope King Charles makes a full and speedy recovery and wish him the very best at this difficult time.

Sent his kids to a school in Chelsea A state School wasn't it? I hate politics to be fair I only know the school as the night we won at Chelsea I. parked there a car pulled up telling us we couldn't park there. Was an Irish nun who was from the same County as my Mum turned out asking us what we were doing ,and I asked her where she was from etc hoping she would give in and after a nice conversation she told us was a teacher there, was no harm parking as late and we had to cross the railway line and a long walk around . .- Oh get in lads and will drop you near the ground ..it worked I asked her about the school on the way and she said that his son went there and had been arrested that month or something so the school had been in the papers The first and bet only time I ever blagged a lift to a Stoke game with a Nun Bugger of a walk back though
