Back in February, King Charles revealed that he had been diagnosed with cancer. His cancer treatments and cancer battle has been kept fairly private. He hasn’t even revealed what type of cancer he has.

King Charles recently stepped out in public to visit Southport, the location of a recent tragedy. There was a knife attack during a Taylor Swift- themed dance class. Three little girls died, and 8 more were injured.

Express reports, that while he was in Southport he met privately with the survivors to hear more about the tragic experience. Crowds were present outside, paying tribute to the young girls who lost their lives.

While he was there, Charles shook hands with some of the members of the public, including Linsey Hislop, who asked a question many people probably wanted to ask. Hislop asked the monarch how he was doing as far as his health was concerned.

Charles responded to Hislop’s question with just four words. He said, “I’m not too bad.”

Three months ago, in May, Charles also opened up a little bit about this health battle. E! News reports that when the king was visiting the Army Flying Museum he talked to Aaron Mapplebeck, a British Army veteran, about chemotherapy.

Charles reportedly told Mapplebeck that chemo has caused him to lose his sense of taste; however, he did not say if his sense of taste would eventually come back or if the side effect was permanent.

King Charles isn’t the only member of the royal family battling cancer. Princess Kate also discovered that she had cancer earlier this year following an abdominal surgery. She has been slightly more open with her cancer diagnosis than the king. She has shared that there are “good days and bad days” and that she’s “making good progress.”

Like the king, she has also not shared what type of cancer she is battling.

While both Charles and Kate took some time off from public royal duties in order to focus on their treatment and recovery, they are both now back to public engagements.
