King Charles uses his cancer diagnosis to help fellow sufferers and their loved ones. So now with an important post.
The news that King Charles III. (75) is suffering from cancer, causing worldwide consternation. At the same time, the British monarch wants to make a virtue out of this emergency as much as possible – he made the illness public in the first place in order to raise more awareness. He and his family continued on this path and published on her official Instagram page some important tips for dealing with cancer patients.
Together with the charity Maggie’s, the royals posted “Ways to support a friend or family member who has been diagnosed with cancer.” For this purpose, people with cancer were asked for examples of what had helped them most personally.
One of the most important points: “Speak to your friend as you normally would. Talk about the things you would talk about. But be prepared to listen without judgment when they want to talk about the serious things. “
Another slide in the posting suggests how important even the smallest gestures can be from time to time: “Help with small household tasks, such as making a fresh bed or taking out the trash.” Or: “Come over spontaneously for dinner.” But probably the most important message to all people who are unsure about dealing with cancer patients: “Stay a friend.”
To further support those affected and their families also posted various contact points. These offer general information and help on the subject of cancer, establish contact with other patients or give financial advice.
King Charles continues to work
King Charles is currently represented at public events by his son Prince William (41). Despite the unspecified cancer diagnosis that the monarch received during prostate surgery, he continues to take care of state business. The royal family also published this shortly after the post about cancer patients a first official official act of the 75-year-old: Charles acknowledged the 50th anniversary of Granada’s independence in a short statement. It gives him “great pleasure” to congratulate him on this anniversary.
It continued: “Over the past five decades, I have watched with deep admiration as you have built your nation and established Grenada’s place in the world and our Commonwealth family.”
