King Charles III and his brother, Prince Andrew‘s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, have grown closer over their cancer diagnosis and battles.
According to a report, the duo has been exchanging letters to show support for each other. Sarah even recently paid tribute to the King at a charity fundraiser.
Charles first revealed his diagnosis in January, shortly after Buckingham Palace announced that he was receiving treatment for an “enlarged prostate.” Both Charles and Sarah are choosing to remain positive amid their diagnosis and treatment and in good spirits.
King Charles And Sarah Ferguson Are Closer Than Ever
King Charles and Sarah Ferguson have grown closer since they were both diagnosed with cancer. A source revealed to the Daily Mail that the two royals have been supporting each other with heartfelt letters, which has strengthened their bond further.
Sarah was recently diagnosed with skin cancer after previously winning her battle against breast cancer. On the other hand, it’s not yet confirmed what form of cancer the King has, only that it’s been confirmed to be the disease. He began receiving treatment at a London hospital and remains “wholly positive” about his prognosis.
After news broke of Sarah’s skin cancer diagnosis, Charles reportedly sent a letter to her expressing his good wishes and support as she received treatment. Sarah returned the heartfelt treatment after news broke to the public of the King’s cancer diagnosis.
The source told the news outlet: “The King and Sarah are incredibly fond of one another, and now they have bonded over their respective cancer diagnosis with an exchange of letters. Cancer is a wicked disease that affects so many individuals and their families, and it’s clear that extra support from loved ones and the extended cancer community can help immeasurably.”
Sarah Ferguson Recently Paid Tribute To King Charles
Earlier this week, Sarah was a guest of honor at a cancer charity fundraiser, where she gave a speech and paid tribute to the King. During her speech at the Cancer Alliance of Help and Hope event in Florida, the Duchess of York urged Charles to “keep fighting on” as he begins treatment.
She said, “I want to thank you all for your kindness in supporting my family members who are going through a hard time, and we wish everyone well, every family in the world, that has been diagnosed or who is going through a difficult time, we wish them well. And of course, my brother-in-law, we wish you well, keep fighting on.”
During the speech, Sarah also spoke about how the cancer alliance brings hope to the world, which we don’t have enough of. She added, “For anyone who’s suffering from low hope, for anyone who believes they can’t do this, they can, it’s absolute nonsense.”
The King Revealed His Cancer Diagnosis In January
The shocking news about King Charles’ cancer diagnosis came two weeks after Buckingham Palace announced that he needed treatment for an “enlarged prostate.”
The palace explained that Charles decided to publicize his prostate treatment to encourage more men to get their prostate checked regularly.
After revealing his cancer diagnosis, the palace again stated that he publicized the news to “assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.”
The statement read, “During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”
It continued, “The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.”
Both Of Them Are Choosing To Remain Positive
After the confirmation of Charles’ cancer diagnosis, there’s been no further information from the palace. They’ve only stated that the King remains “positive” about his treatment and recovery and eagerly anticipates his total return to his public duties.
The source explained that even family and friends are shocked and impressed by Charles’ determination to continue “business as usual.”
The King is reportedly staying briefly at his Sandringham estate in Norfolk and will soon return to London to resume weekly treatments.
Sarah is also reportedly remaining in “good spirits” despite the distressing news about her second cancer diagnosis of skin cancer.
