The many messages of support King Charles III received following his cancer diagnosis “reduced me to tears most of the time,” the British monarch has said in a new statement released by Buckingham Palace Friday.
The King has received more than 7,000 letters and cards from across the world since his diagnosis earlier this month, the palace revealed.
Many came from children and included hand-drawn images, while others were from cancer survivors sharing their personal battles, it added, thanking “everyone who took the time to write.”
“Such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement,” Charles said.
The British monarch also said the messages had “reduced me to tears most of the time.”
Buckingham Palace announced on February 6 that the 75-year-old British King had been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer and would be stepping back from public-facing duties while he undergoes treatment.
