King Charles reveals new cancer side effect as war of words with Harry erupts

The King today revealed he has lost his sense of taste during cancer treatment.

The monarch, 75, was speaking to British Army veteran Aaron Mapplebeck while visiting the Army Flying Museum in Middle Wallop, Hampshire, this afternoon.

When Mr Mapplebeck said he underwent chemotherapy last year to treat a testicular cancer diagnosis and that he had lost his sense of taste during the process, the King revealed this had also happened to him.

The Palace has not yet confirmed details of the King’s cancer or treatment.

Miranda Barbot, the Sussex’s Vice President of Programs and Media Operations, had an interesting response when a journalist wished the couple good luck on Saturday (11 May).

“Hope everything goes well today,” the journalist said.

“What do you mean?” she questioned. “What could go wrong?”

Barbot quickly realised that Saturday’s comment was about the grey skies and not the tour: “Ah yes, rain,” she added.

The remark was made ahead of a volleyball match at an outdoor sporting arena, where the couple were marking the 10th anniversary of Prince Harry’s Invictus Games.

The continuation of the celebrations comes after the Prince suffered two apparent snubs while marking the anniversary in the UK last week – the first was his father’s decision not to meet him on his brief trip and the second was the news that Prince William was about to become the colonel-in-chief of Harry’s old military regiment.

The 2023 memoir, which details the Duke of Sussex’s life in the royal family and subsequent decision to step down as a working member, suffered the losses last night (13 May).

The puzzle book Murdle by GT Karber was awarded Book of the Year at the London-based ceremony.

Meanwhile, Politics On The Edge by former International Development Secretary Rory Stewart beat Spare to be crowned the best narrative non-fiction book.

The Prince was also nominated for Author of the Year despite his memoir being ghostwritten, and he lost out in this category to Impossible Creatures writer Katherine Rundell.

Even hardened Sussex critics took a sharp intake of breath when they heard that the King would not meet Prince Harry last week. The Duke fleetingly arrived in London to headline at an Invictus 10th anniversary celebration in St Paul’s Cathedral, but despite the religious framework, he was not greeted as the prodigal son by his father.

Quite the reverse. 2.6 miles away (yes many measured the distance) the King was otherwise engaged, welcoming crowds in a top hat at his first Buckingham Garden Party of the season.

The sun shone, but domestic clouds stubbornly persisted.
