King Charles’ health is on the mend.
After being diagnosed with cancer last February, the monarch, 76, began undergoing treatments during the 2024 year.
Palace sources confirmed on Friday to The Post that “his treatment has been moving in a positive direction, and as a managed condition the treatment cycle, will continue into next year.”
Plans are underway for a schedule of public work for Charles, similar to how the current year is closing out, including trips around the U.K. and abroad on the books.
Sky News was the first to report the update, with the outlet having a conversation with Dame Laura Lee, the chief executive of the cancer support charity Maggie’s.
“It’s very common for treatment to be ongoing for very long periods of time, as is the treatment that the Princess of Wales went through, which is an intense period of treatment over a year, and then it comes to a point where it’s on an end, and she’s on that recovery from some of the impacts of her treatment,” she explained.
“So we’ve got immunotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, hormone therapy. There are all sorts of different treatment modalities. And so it’s not surprising at all,” Lee added.
The King was originally hospitalized for a planned operation to treat an enlarged prostate in January when the undisclosed cancer was discovered. In Feb., the palace announced that he had started treatment.
At the time, Charles canceled all in-person engagements and only returned to his more public royal duties in April.
In March, Charles’ daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, revealed that she had also been undergoing cancer treatment for about a month. In September, the Princess of Wales, 42, announced she had finished her chemotherapy treatment.
“I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment,” Kate said in a statement on X.
“Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.”
The princess, who shares three children — Prince George, 11, Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6 — with Prince William, added she was now “looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.”
Kate thanked those who supported her during the months-long cancer battle.
“The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown,” she said.
“The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you. With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.”

“Despite all that has gone before I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life,” the royal added.
Her close friend recently claimed she still has a little ways to go before she’s fully “back to normal.”
The beloved royal has gradually returned to public-facing duties since her announcement.
“She is focused on herself and her family right now, rightly,” a palace source told People, adding that the princess is “not back to normal” just yet.
Despite not feeling 100%, there’s “light at the end of the tunnel,” the insider said.
“She has to get back on top of it. And she will if she is left alone to work it out for herself,” a second source told the outlet. “She won’t be going back to work in the same way for a long time.”
