reception Also present was the ex-wife of Prince Andrew Sarah Duchess of York who has been treated for skin and breast cancer I think the King is a brilliant example of revolutionizing patronage she announced He really listens he wants to fix it he wants to make a difference Though Charles has been increasingly visible in new months he was briefly hospitalized last month as a end of temporary side effects from a scheduled cancer therapy Though no update on the king s robustness has been provided his return to citizens duties has been read that his remedy is heading in the right direction We are so grateful to His Majesty for his continued aid both as our patron and for being so open about his own cancer experience which has inspired so plenty of others to reach out for promotion from organizations like Macmillan noted Gemma Peters chief executive at Macmillan Cancer Assistance Charles illness came as his daughter-in-law Kate the Princess of Wales was also diagnosed with cancer Kate the wife of Prince William took more than six months off before returning to masses duties in late September
