King Charles’ funeral plans reportedly being updated regularly after cancer diagnosis: ‘He is really very unwell’

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 think there were multiple horses that went “RUNABOUT”.

I was wondering what they had on for hoof covering, since they were NOT skidding on the pavement.

MAYBE “EAST BOOTS”.??

I kind of feel for the guy. He waited his whole life to be King…and he will be gone before he can put his mark on it.

He married a dope, but he certainly earned his awards. I don’t begrudge him that at all.

And since the vaccines rolled out the number of people diagnosed with aggressive cancer has skyrocketed not saying there is any correlation but something worth considering

Do you have a specific study?

I don't want to hear something that's anecdotal.

I wouldn’t either, if he hadn’t shat upon his service and his military comrades in his stupid book.

AstraZeneca vaccine did not get approval in the U.S. due to a small risk for clot attacks. J&J vaccine is no longer approved for the same reason.

Largest ever global study of COVID vaccines finds small but real link to neurological, blood, heart-related conditions

Nothing about cancer.

People get cancer all the time. With vaccine. Or without vaccine.

Philip was born a Prince (of Greece and Denmark) to start with, but he renounced those when he became a British citizen. He was created Duke of Edinburgh by George VI, and a British prince by Elizabeth after she married him.

And he’s either going to live or die.

Everyone dies.

Technically, he annulled three of his marriages. One of those he beheaded; and he beheaded another while still married to her.

Are there even any rumors out of what type of cancer Charles has?
