As the world reels from the news that King Charles has cancer, Palace Confidential’s royal experts, Rebecca English, Richard Eden and Robert Hardman share their insights on what the implications of the King’s diagnosis are for the monarchy.

Rebecca English reveals that King Charles remains ‘very positive’ and that the challenge for those around him will be forcing him to step back from his duties to focus on his treatment. Robert Hardman looks at how Prince William’s role will change, as he undertakes more duties to step in for his father and Richard Eden asks whether Prince Harry’s announcement that he would be dashing to be at his father’s side is ‘rather tasteless’.
