King Charles III’s health is on the upswing.
Amid the British monarch’s ongoing cancer battle, his treatment is “moving in a positive direction,” a Buckingham Palace source told NBC News Dec. 20.
While the update is good news for the 76-year-old, the source also noted that his cancer is a “managed condition,” and therefore his “treatment cycle will continue into next year.”
As Charles—who ascended to the throne in September 2022 after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II—continues to battle the disease, his wife, Queen Camilla, also recently shared a positive update on his health journey.
During a visit to the Dyson Cancer Center at the Royal United Hospital in Bath, England in September, the queen consort—who married Charles in 2005—was asked by Suzy Moon of Macmillan Cancer Support about the king’s health status. Camilla, 77, responded, per the Mirror, “He is doing very well.”
