King Charles III will continue his cancer treatment in 2025, Fox News Digital has confirmed.
As His Majesty has battled an undisclosed form of cancer for nearly a year, his health condition is moving “in a very positive direction,” according to People magazine.
Charles’ cancer treatment remains a “managed condition,” and his “treatment cycle will continue into next year,” a Buckingham Palace source told the outlet.

While Charles, 76, continues his cancer journey, he plans to proceed with his public work duties as he has trips scheduled around the U.K. and abroad in the new year.
It is unclear what type of treatment Charles is receiving during his cancer battle.
However, Dame Laura Lee, chief executive of the cancer support charity Maggie’s – of which Queen Camilla is patron – said Charles’ treatments are not abnormal.

“It’s very common for treatment to be ongoing for very long periods of time, as is the treatment that the Princess of Wales went through, which is an intense period of treatment over a year,” Lee explained to Sky News. “Then it comes to a point where it’s on an end, and she’s on that recovery from some of the impacts of her treatment.
“So we’ve got immunotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, hormone therapy. There are all sorts of different treatment modalities. And so it’s not surprising at all,” she told the outlet.
