00:05One of the most shocking influential figure health updates of the year
00:08was certainly King Charles III's cancer diagnosis,
00:12which has had many royal family enthusiasts worried about him over the last year.
00:18However, in his new book titled The Windsor Legacy on the Monarchy,
00:22a royal author recently revealed that the king reportedly was reduced to tears
00:27upon seeing and hearing the public's reaction to his illness.
00:31Not only did the king himself reveal he had been diagnosed with cancer last February,
00:36but about a month later, after weeks of speculation and concern,
00:40his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, revealed she was being treated for a form of cancer as well.

00:59but by the thousands of warm letters he has received,
01:02wrote Robert Jobson, a royal expert as reported by the Daily Mail.
01:07Some were cards, clearly made by children and covered in glitter,
01:11or accompanying a get-well gift of smarties.
01:14It's no secret that the dad of two has been one of the more controversial members of the royal family,
01:21which largely stems from his relationships with his late wife, Princess Diana,
01:26and his current wife, Queen Camilla, formerly Camilla Parker Bowles.
01:32However, despite all the backlash he's faced for his scandalous affair with Camilla,
01:37prior to his and Diana's divorce and her tragic passing in 1997,
01:43the royal author noted how the public continued to show their love and support for him over the last year,
01:49sending many gifts and messages encouraging him to be well and stay strong.
01:55Charles was simply overwhelmed to learn that so many cared and wished him well,
02:00wrote the author, despite the backlash from those who adored his late wife Diana.
02:04In addition to taking in all of the public's well wishes and support,
02:09the king is also reportedly taking better care of himself
02:12and doing what he can to stay as healthy as possible,
02:16eating well and getting rest when he can.
02:18He's changed some of the habits that once seemed set in stone,
02:23wrote the author,
02:24who added that he was slowing down and listening to his medical team.
