King Charles III has made a lighthearted comment about his ongoing cancer treatment during a recent royal visit to east London. Harvinder Rattan, a British Sikh well-wisher, asked the monarch how he was doing, and in response, King Charles replied “I’m still alive.” The remark, made during a celebration of community cohesion at Fellowship Square in Walthamstow, showcased the king’s ability to find humor even in difficult times.
The royal visit, which took place on Friday, was part of a broader effort to strengthen ties between the UK and India. King Charles and Prime Minister Narendra Modi reaffirmed their commitment to furthering the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two nations during a recent exchange. The partnership aims to promote cooperation and collaboration between India and the UK in areas such as trade, security, and culture.
The king’s visit comes after Buckingham Palace announced that his cancer treatment has been proceeding in a positive direction and will continue into 2025. With this news, Charles is expected to take on a fuller schedule of events in 2025, including a visit to India.
