King Charles shares emotional video to mark World Cancer Day
The video, shared on the Royal Family's social media pages, features a range of celebrities, scientists and charity workers who share heartwarming messages to those affected by cancer.
King Charles has shared an emotional video starring Sir Chris Hoy and Amy Dowden to mark World Cancer Day, a year after he was diagnosed with cancer himself.
The video, shared on the Royal Family's social media pages, features a range of celebrities, scientists and charity workers who share heartwarming messages to those affected by cancer.
It comes after a tumultuous year for the royals, with both King Charles and the Princess of Wales being diagnosed with cancer.
After a period of absence from royal engagements, both are now back to work and have previously issued heartfelt messages thanking medical staff for their treatment.
The video released today included messages from Adele Roberts, Tom Daley and Gok Wan.
Cycling legend Sir Chris Hoy, who recently revealed he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, told viewers: 'We're all in this together, you are not alone.Â
'Keep living life every single day and keep smiling, and don't forget to enjoy the here and the now.'
Sir Chris, who is a six-time Olympic track cycling gold medalist, was originally diagnosed with prostate cancer and revealed in October that he is not expected to recover.

Strictly Come Dancing's professional dancer Amy Dowden also featured in the clip after she was forced to take time out from the show during treatment for breast cancer.
The star was diagnosed with stage three cancer in May 2023, underwent chemotherapy and a mastectomy, and received the happy news in February last year that there was no sign of cancer in her body.Â
She said: 'I am sending so much love, strength and thoughts to those affected by cancer.Â
'I remember after I was diagnosed a nurse telling me to stop holding it all in. If I needed to have a good cry to let it out.'
Also speaking candidly about her cancer experience was Bridgerton actress Adele Roberts, who was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2021 and again in 2023.Â
She told those affected by cancer not to allow the disease to take away their happiness or who they are.
She said: 'I just wanted to say I am really thinking of you if you are dealing with cancer at the moment.
'Don't be afraid to ask for help and if you can do something every day that makes you truly happy.

Olympic diver Tom Daley also contributed to the video, after his father died from brain cancer in 2011
Broadcaster Fearne Cotton joined her fellow celebrities in thanking medical staff for their tireless work on cancer
'When I was diagnosed with bowel cancer it was overwhelming, I knew I couldn't control what it did to my body, but I was determined not to let it affect my spirit.'
Five-time diving Olympic medalist Tom Daley was also featured as he issued his thanks to the medical community.
The diver's father Robert sadly died aged just 40 with a brain tumour in 2011.
Daley said: 'Today on World Cancer Day I would just like to say a huge thank you to all the nurses, doctors, scientists and researchers that are continuously trying to find a cure for cancer.Â
'My Dad passed away in 2011, but I want to say that whether you know someone or whether you've been recently diagnosed, we are all in this together and whatever you can do to smile every day is important.'
Fashion icon and author Gok Wan, who lost his best friend Allison to cancer in May, added: 'Without your love, care, support and dedication a lot of people out there would be going through an even more difficult time, so thank you so much.'
BBC broadcaster Victoria Derbyshire, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 said: 'We are all with you. This is tough but you are not alone.'
And fellow broadcaster Fearne Cotton said: 'This World Cancer Day I want to say a massive thank you to all of the brilliant doctors and nurses and charities that work tirelessly for the cause.'
King Charles (pictured at this year's Holocaust Memorial Day service) will continue treatment into this year but has resumed public engagements
The royals were hit by a second cancer blow just a month after the King's diagnosis, when it was revealed the Princess of Wales also had the disease
The video did not hear directly from the King or the Princess of Wales, but the poignant clip comes after a particularly challenging year for the family.Â
In February last year, the royal family announced that Charles had been diagnosed with 'a form of cancer' and he was forced to recuse himself from all public engagements while seeking treatment.
He was able to return to most duties two months later while still receiving treatment.
Buckingham Palace said in December that his treatment cycles will continue this year, but that they are planning a 'normal schedule' for the monarch.Â
A source told Sky News: 'His treatment has been moving in a positive direction.
'As a managed condition the treatment cycle will continue into next year.'
In his Christmas Day speech, the King gave a special mention to all of the medical staff who had treated him during his ordeal, as well as the rest of his family.
'From a personal point of view, I offer special, heartfelt thanks to the selfless doctors and nurses who this year have supported me and other members of my family through the uncertainties and anxieties of illness and have helped provide the strength, care and comfort we have needed,' he said.
The royals were hit by a second cancer blow just a month after the King's diagnosis, when it was revealed the Princess of Wales also had the disease.
Kate was also absent from public duties for a period of time as she underwent treatment.Â
In September, she revealed she had completed chemotherapy and last month returned to the Royal Marsden Hospital in London to thank staff for their work.
Kensington Palace said the royal had wanted to 'show her gratitude to the incredible team, but also highlight the world-leading care and treatment the Marsden provides'.Â
