King Charles’ funeral plans reportedly being updated regularly after cancer diagnosis: ‘He is really very unwell’
NY Post ^ | 4/25/24 | Katherine Donlevy

King Charles’ health conditions are progressively deteriorating, leading Buckingham Palace officials to keep a regularly updated plan for his impending funeral — preparations for which started the day after Queen Elizabeth was buried, insiders said.

The 75-year-old monarch has remained largely out of the limelight since announcing his cancer prognosis in February to hide his declining condition, with multiple sources telling the Daily Beast the situation is “not good.”

“Of course he is determined to beat it and they are throwing everything at it. Everyone is staying optimistic, but he is really very unwell. More than they are letting on,” a source described as an old friend of the royal family told the outlet.

King Charles has never revealed what cancer he has been diagnosed with but admitted that it wasn’t prostate cancer, which is one of the most treatable forms of the disease.

The Firm has also been tight-lipped on his medical journey, but well-placed insiders and political commentators have publicly spoken about how the king is “responding really well” to treatment.

Behind the scenes, however, King Charles’ aides are regularly reviewing copies of a several-hundred-page document outlining his royal funeral plans, dubbed “Operation Menai Bridge.”

“The plans have been dusted off and are actively being kept up to date. It’s no more than what you would expect given the king has been diagnosed with cancer. But the circulation of them has certainly focused minds,” a former staffer with links to the serving courtiers told the Daily Beast.

I’m Scot, French, Haudenausani and Swiss. English seem to look like crap as they age. Not judging.

Article also says this funeral prep is SOP, and that he is responding very well to treatment. He may be feeling horrible, but chemo therapy itself is often nasty.

She won’t be the “Queen Consort”...she’ll just be “Queen”.

Those bank notes could be worth far more than their face value.

a “queen consort is a woman who married a man who is king,” and a “queen is a woman who is born to be queen and is head of state — not the wife of a monarch.”May 4, 2023

Major boost for King Charles in his battle with cancer:

Monarch is given permission to return to public-facing duties next week after ‘pleasing’ medics with his recovery - as palace announces two milestone events.

In a statement Buckingham Palace said tonight: ‘His Majesty The King will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis.

What a contrast! I just read in the New York Post that Charles is near death , then, as you post, the Daily Mail says he has greatly improved! Hard to know who to believe.

Technically she will be ‘Queen Consort’ but her title will be ‘Queen Catherine’.

He must be doing something holistic.nobody I know who has done regular chemo would be doing public appearances like he is doing. Or he could just be doing radiation

I guess brits don’t age well.

Government healthcare doesn't help.

Well,you can be sure that she’s getting the very best care available in Great Britain. There are surely some very,very skilled physicians and surgeons in Britain...most of whom are only available to the very rich and very powerful.

If Charles has to rely on the NHS for his treatment, he’s a goner.

I haven’t been keeping up with things. Why did I think he was already dead?

They need to either tell us exactly what the cancer is or else STFU and bugger off.
