King 'deeply touched' by reaction to cancer update - as screening sites see traffic surge
The King will be "deeply touched" by the public’s reaction to the update on his cancer treatment, Buckingham Palace has said – as screening websites saw a surge in traffic.
In a televised message on Friday, Charles said his treatment can be reduced in the new year thanks to an "early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to doctors' orders". The monarch, who announced he had been diagnosed with cancer in February 2024, also urged people to take up available screenings for the disease.
Cancer Research UK said tens of thousands of people visited its Screening Checker website, which was launched on 5 December, after the King's message. NHS England also said its cancer-related pages saw a substantial spike in activity, with almost 4,000 views in a 24-hour period, compared to almost 8,000 over the full week.
A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace said on Saturday it has been "delighted by the scale and sensitivity of the worldwide media reaction.
