King Charles has continued his royal duties while undergoing cancer treatment, which began in 2024 and is expected to continue into 2025.
Despite the challenges, he is set to travel to Italy for a state visit in April 2025, his first overseas trip this year. His health has shown positive progress, though some royal experts have raised concerns about the long-term strain on the monarchy, given his age and health issues.
Charles has faced personal losses recently, including the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and his close friend Ian Farquhar. Additionally, he mourns the passing of his friend and spiritual leader, The Aga Khan, in early February 2025.
Despite these hardships, King Charles remains resilient and positive, though questions about whether he may eventually abdicate have been raised, given the challenges he faces.
