Britain’s King Charles III has revealed that his cancer treatment will soon be scaled back, crediting an “early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to doctors’ orders” for an improvement in his condition.

“This milestone is both a personal blessing and a testimony to the remarkable advances that have been made in cancer care,” Charles said in a televised message that aired Friday in support of the Stand Up to Cancer charity campaign.

Buckingham Palace did not say whether his cancer is in remission, but a palace spokesperson said in a briefing provided to NBC News before the broadcast that Charles had “responded exceptionally well” to treatment and that ongoing measures “will now move into a precautionary phase.”

“This position will be continuously monitored and reviewed to protect and prioritise his continued recovery,” the spokesperson added.

The king disclosed his cancer diagnosis in February 2024, less than 18 months after taking the throne.
