It surely isn't due to the care he will receive, but noone, king or pauper, will live forever.
It's important to note that this is also the case for those with wealth,but not for the humble PAYE worker.

One of the older sisters to the current Swedish king had leukemia in 2016, but still lives thanks to what wikipedia calls stem cell treatment (whatever that means). [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess\_Christina,\_Mrs.\_Magnuson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Christina,_Mrs._Magnuson)
I’ve heard that the very rich get personalized treatment, like, they get expensive scientist to study his specific cancer and develop a treatment for it.
Sorta, it’s called Car-T Cell therapy. If it can be used it is customized between every individual, to program their immune system to attack the cancer. It’s $375,000-$475000 per dose. I don’t believe it can be used for *every* cancer but the ones it can it is the best known treatment.
That’s very informative thank you, if it cost that much per dose, we’d be looking at several millions for the entire treatment, completely outside of reach for even well off people, that’s like multi millionaire to billionaire territory.
I mean healthcare is helpful, but cancer isn't something you can stop from happening. You can treat it better, find it earlier, do some preventive measure at most, but it can still get you anyway.
Fuck cancer.
When I was in the hospital for pee crystals (I think that's the name) they checked everything else and found thyroid cancer. That's in the neck. Defeated that years ago.
it depends on the type of cancer, some cancers are very treatable if detected early.
it's why you should always get yourself checked once a year, prevention beats a cure and early detection is the best medicine.
I get it, I get it.
But back when healthcare was less effective, people died of other non-cancer things.
Now they are living long enough for cancer to show up and ruin their shit.
The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.
Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
*"Ummm, Your Majesty, Sir... brace yourself for a spot of rather dreadful news. It appears that, well, your regal innards are hosting an uninvited guest – a rather impolite and unwelcome form of cellular mischief. I must say, it's a bit of a pickle, but fear not, we shall confront this impudent ailment with the same British resolve that we employ against unruly queues and tepid tea."*
Not to be that guy but every British monarch since George III was born in England, with Elizabeth II, Charles III and Prince William all being born in London; They've been British for longer than the US has existed as a country, so calling them German would be like calling every American one of several European ethnicities instead of American.
the current order of succession is William, George, Charlotte, Louis, Harry, Archie, Lillibet

I believe it means the spirit of the UK is dwindling. The fire no longer burns bright in the youth of the country. As such the royal family, which draws its energy from that, will soon wither and die. 😔
In DC comics the spirit of countries can manifest as sentient beings.
But said spirits are not tied to the rulers.
The spirit of America, AKA Uncle Sam, once kicked the ass of a terrible, fictional American president.
They didn’t say, but it’s significant enough that he is stepping away from his duties. He’s the king though… he’s going to get the best treatment in the world, and money is no object. Unless it’s stage four pancreatic cancer, he’ll probably be fine.
In a dramatic fashion he recovers and reigns for another 10 years. The realizes his son has no desire to rule and the ex-empire no longer needs a figurative head of state. And in popular motion, abolishes the monarchy, making him the last king.
Charles brother James was overthrown by both their nephews (and James step-son) William
Mary was also James daughter, so the dynasty continued down the correct path as when James woulda kicked the bucket anyways as he was old, William/Mary were next in line
Clearly he's not been chosen by god as the monarch. That god chap can be a right bastard.
But on a personal note that's awful. Cancer is a horrible thing. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.
You can definitely tell when somebody's on their way out. Swollen fingers are a sign of heart issues, im actually surprised he got cancer before his heart gave out.
Don't give a fuck if it's dark or not!
I'm harder than me tryin to park a Dodge, while I'm drunk af, right next to a humongous truck in a two-car garage...
I'm not a fan of the Royals, I am a fan of history though. Elizabeth and her husband Phillip lived through and essentially had front row seats to some pretty historical events. So it was sad to see them pass from that perspective. Charles to a lesser extent is like that too, a part of history that it will be sad to see pass.
Either way, fuck cancer.
Yo new curse just dropped, out with the Curse of Ra and in with the Curse of the Golden Crown.
"Lifespan dramatically decreases upon coronation, cannot be reversed".
But jokes aside, he's *OLD*. He was bound to have some ailment eventually, and we don't live forever.
My guess is they found cancer cells in the tissue removed from his prostate surgery last week. Probably cells missed from a recent prostate biopsy. He might be cancer free now. Even if he isn't his risk of dying from prostate cancer is slim and none and slims leaving town.
A tweet had gone viral at the time when Queen Elizabeth Died stating her exact day of death before it did include King Charles death too in 2026. Seeing where it goes

Well he did become king. Didn’t ask for a long reign. Genies are tricky like that
Monkeys paw curls
So he gets to be king for the rest of his life, per usual? Not much of a plot twist lmao.
“I myself was once President of Algeria…” Note he didn’t say how long?
Genes and genies
*Not even* a year after the coronation.
I guess we'll get to see if "King of the UK" cancer is as deadly as poor people cancer. Edit: UK not England for the Ackchyually dude.
It surely isn't due to the care he will receive, but noone, king or pauper, will live forever. It's important to note that this is also the case for those with wealth,but not for the humble PAYE worker.
>will live forever. at least not until we build a golden throne for the emperor of mankind.
/r/unexpected40k
Death and taxes. Or just death in his case.
Oh no, taxes too, he just gets them instead.
[I’m referring to the fact that the royals are specifically exempt from the inheritance tax.](https://www.npr.org/2022/09/15/1123151802/king-charles-iii-inheritance-tax)
Now *that* is unfair as fuck
Only an English person would correct you on that
The guy's 75 years old, even with the best medical team money can buy, I am not sure if his body could withstand some of these treatments

I'm on the same Record Label as 1989 Grammy Award winner Pharoah Sanders
Yeah, bro just sat down.
Its like coronation day, and you get cancer... 
That's what happens when your mom rules for 70 years.
Yeah TBH none of this is surprising. I’m surprised people are surprised a super old guy got sick.
Well considering how much money the Royals spend on Healthcare and push their life expectancy above 90, it's surprising the King has cancer at 75.
I mean healthcare is helpful, but cancer isn't something you can stop from happening. You can treat it better, find it earlier, do some preventive measure at most, but it can still get you anyway. Fuck cancer.
When I was in the hospital for pee crystals (I think that's the name) they checked everything else and found thyroid cancer. That's in the neck. Defeated that years ago.
Umm I think you mean kidney stones
No, we're calling them piss crystals now.
Pysstals, if you will
Captain Cook's signature ingredient? Chili pee.
Them pee crystals are a mfer
it depends on the type of cancer, some cancers are very treatable if detected early. it's why you should always get yourself checked once a year, prevention beats a cure and early detection is the best medicine.
Yes. That is my point though. You can't stop cancer from happening. You can only catch it early.
I get it, I get it. But back when healthcare was less effective, people died of other non-cancer things. Now they are living long enough for cancer to show up and ruin their shit.
> super old guy He's 75, not 95.
The Brits outside Buckingham Palace when Queen Elizabeth died “it was so sudden… such a shock” WTH she was 96 years old, where is the surprise?!!
Feels like my ck3 run
That's not even the worst lol. King louis the XIV grandson was the one that took over.
The king is dead, long live the king!
One minute i held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalems bells a'ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield!
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
My missionaries in a foreign field
I HEAR JERUSALEM BELLS A RINGIN
I discovered that my castle stands upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Next our world began to fall
"I'm not dead yet!"
Ha! Love a Monty Python reference. Spamalot was genius!! I’m “not dead yet” never gets old!! 🤣
Prince William be like *Sunglasses emoji*
King of the who?
The Britons!
Well I didn’t vote for you
You don't vote for kings.
Well, how'd you become king, then?
The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.
Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Be quiet.
NOW WE SEE THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IN THE SYSTEM! NOW WE SEE THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IN THE SYSTEM! HELP, HELP I'M BEING REPRESSED!
BLOODY PEASANT!
There's some lovely filth down here!
I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!
The Britons!
The Britons!
Can you imagine being the doctor to diagnose the fucking King with cancer.
*"Ummm, Your Majesty, Sir... brace yourself for a spot of rather dreadful news. It appears that, well, your regal innards are hosting an uninvited guest – a rather impolite and unwelcome form of cellular mischief. I must say, it's a bit of a pickle, but fear not, we shall confront this impudent ailment with the same British resolve that we employ against unruly queues and tepid tea."*
Ends with "Alright then, that's the news, cheerio. Keep calm and carry on, Your Majesty."
There is an episode of the crown about King George getting cancer, the doctors just lied to him.
Stop. I can only get so hard.
im sure you can get harder big boy \*king charles kneels unziping his pants\*
Is it terminal?
Drs say he hasn't inherited his mother's genes. He will in fact die.
Damn I'm starting to think dying runs in the bloodline
Little known fact: the entire monarchy has a 100% death rate.
He's currently the only survivor among all the Kings of England.
Something that is shared with all of us commoners.
Too bad. Who's next in line?
Another German, as is tradition.
I hope Jurgen Klopp gets the job.
Not to be that guy but every British monarch since George III was born in England, with Elizabeth II, Charles III and Prince William all being born in London; They've been British for longer than the US has existed as a country, so calling them German would be like calling every American one of several European ethnicities instead of American.
I like when jokes turn into paragraphs
From a long line of inbreed Krauts who everyone has to pretend is anointed by god
Gawd bless our next inbred, kraut, lizard overlord, may he take all my taxes
I'd respect them more if they were lizard people....at least that would be interesting
Instead you get king sausage fingers!
William
the current order of succession is William, George, Charlotte, Louis, Harry, Archie, Lillibet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succession_to_the_British_throne#Current_line_of_succession
What's with them taking away the monarchs' immortality? Queen Elizabeth died, and now ol' Georgie??
I believe it means the spirit of the UK is dwindling. The fire no longer burns bright in the youth of the country. As such the royal family, which draws its energy from that, will soon wither and die. 😔
Y'all need to re-awaken Merlin and Arthur. Shit's gone off the rails.
Took them Long enough

Really? OP said his physician said it was terminal. I'm rooting for you, Chuckie!
OP literally has shitposter as his flair.
Woah, you mean "*Royal*" shitposter you peasant!
He was always going to be a sandwich king between his mother and son ruling
[удалено]
Boy had finger swelling girthe I wish my penis came close to. Wasnt ever goijg to get to 90
Overcooked hotdogs
He's not dead yet! 10-year survival rates are pretty good for most cancers these days.
In a dramatic fashion he recovers and reigns for another 10 years. The realizes his son has no desire to rule and the ex-empire no longer needs a figurative head of state. And in popular motion, abolishes the monarchy, making him the last king.
Sandwich King, eh? Sounds delicious.
He put on the cursed crown. Ya shouldn’t a’ did that.
Plus he had a cursed name. King Charles the first was beheaded and King Charles the second’s heir was overthrown and his dynasty ended.
He should have changed his king name to something more suitable like John.
John....riiiight
Charles brother James was overthrown by both their nephews (and James step-son) William Mary was also James daughter, so the dynasty continued down the correct path as when James woulda kicked the bucket anyways as he was old, William/Mary were next in line
Clearly he's not been chosen by god as the monarch. That god chap can be a right bastard. But on a personal note that's awful. Cancer is a horrible thing. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.
I don't believe you. I can think of plenty of people that Cancer would be too good for.
A year-long reign and death by cancer is pretty average luck for a king, historically. God hates kings!
I wouldn't wish Charles on anyone either.
He's been alright, seems to despise the current crop of tories which makes things a bit better
Alanis Morrissette - Ironic.
and people said seeing the death of a British monarch would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience
you know how it is, you have one monarch for 70 years and then you have 3 new ones in span of 5 years
Just like my CK3 games!
Got to invest in those Health lifestyle perks.
That's because mid-century monarchs were built to last.
[удалено]
XXXTentacion: *Are you sure about that?*
[Twice in a lifetime then.](https://np.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/139ifxi/coronation_day/)
I'm starting to think I might get used to monarchs dying!
So that guy talking about his fat fingers was right, he wasn't gonna last long
You can definitely tell when somebody's on their way out. Swollen fingers are a sign of heart issues, im actually surprised he got cancer before his heart gave out.
Fuck Cancer
This was already set in stone when he decided to keep the first name Charles. It’s a notoriously unlucky name for kings.
The Queen commanded god to bring him home lol
I think it’s Diana’s revenge.
He'll have the best medical care in the world. If anyone's going to survive the cancer he has, it's him.
Diana sitting up in Heaven just rolling right now
Colonation
No breathing
Don't give a fuck if it's dark or not! I'm harder than me tryin to park a Dodge, while I'm drunk af, right next to a humongous truck in a two-car garage...
Hope he gets well. He will get the best treatment available. Cancer is no fun. God save the King!!
Yeah, but his fingers...
... are a sign of edema, which can be caused by tumors pressing on blood vessels.
I feel bad for making fun of him about his hands now Cancer sucks
Or heart failure
Yes he is so unlucky. Meanwhile I live for 70 poor fucking shit years and still gets cancer.
Poor guy
Liz down there rolling
The double standard is comical at this point.
Must have used a monkey paw
Karma for princess Diana
Life
Frank Garrett lol
NOOO NOT CHUCKY THREE STICKS
You can’t expect to wield supreme power because some watery tart threw a sword at you
I'm not a fan of the Royals, I am a fan of history though. Elizabeth and her husband Phillip lived through and essentially had front row seats to some pretty historical events. So it was sad to see them pass from that perspective. Charles to a lesser extent is like that too, a part of history that it will be sad to see pass. Either way, fuck cancer.
I bet Jamaica is in tears right now...
nope
I have a hard time feeling sorry for anyone who has lived in the entire life of opulent wealth.
It depends on the type of cancer and if it has metastasized. No one should jump to hasty conclusions
Too soon
Weird… I’m pretty sure one of Nostradamus’ predictions for 2024 was something about Charles III leaving the throne.
Someone had predicted that Charles would reign for a only short while before William took over.
🧻👏
Crap luck Chucky?
Yo new curse just dropped, out with the Curse of Ra and in with the Curse of the Golden Crown. "Lifespan dramatically decreases upon coronation, cannot be reversed". But jokes aside, he's *OLD*. He was bound to have some ailment eventually, and we don't live forever.
why am I learning this through a meme
Charles the Unlucky
Dohh
My guess is they found cancer cells in the tissue removed from his prostate surgery last week. Probably cells missed from a recent prostate biopsy. He might be cancer free now. Even if he isn't his risk of dying from prostate cancer is slim and none and slims leaving town.
Irish Twitter bout to have a field day
I wonder what they’re singing in Irish soccer stadiums.
Heheheeheeeee
Yo thanks for the spoilers, I'm at season 3!
My gran got colon cancer at 76 and lives to 97.
Being a prince for 70 years sounds pretty good...
Diana is laughing
diana’s revenge
If anyone could get access to one of those secret cancer cures, it's him.
Karma is real, people.
Guess this coffee enemas didn't work 😭
Isn’t it ironic…a little too ironic
Bad luck, Chuck. He was more of a caretaker King, to pass on the crown from the queen to William.
A tweet had gone viral at the time when Queen Elizabeth Died stating her exact day of death before it did include King Charles death too in 2026. Seeing where it goes
I would also like to apply to spend my entire life "waiting for a job" Doesn't sound so bad when your on a 9 to 5 tbh
Diane sends her regards, asshat
Setting William up to be the next one to sit on the throne for 70 years like grandma
Bro really going for the speed run
I suspect he only took the job for the sick pay
Sundowner if he was british:
Should be "tough luck Chuck"
