King Charles has received “get well soon” wishes from around the world.
Buckingham Palace published a video to social networks On Friday, the ailing monarch, who is battling cancer, is shown opening fan letters sent to the establishment by thousands of people to console him by post.
The light-hearted but touching video begins with Charles, 75, reading a card featuring a cartoon dog with a cone and jokingly reading: “King Charles, at least you don’t have to wear a cone.”
Text placed above the video reads: “The Buckingham Palace correspondence team has received over 7,000 letters and cards from around the world.”
“The King has been sent a selection (of letters) in his red daily paperwork box,” states the video, which shows the King’s gigantic, briefcase-like personal mobile mailbox.
“Many share their own experience with cancer. Others offer good wishes and advice for a speedy recovery.”
“To everyone who took the time to write, THANK YOU,” the video said, showing summaries of some of the messages, including one person who wrote: “The main thing is family.”
“As Your Majesty has said, ‘those kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement,’” the video concludes.
The emotional clip comes days after Charles had his first face-to-face meeting with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak since beginning treatment for his cancer.
During the meeting, His Majesty said: “I have received countless heartwarming messages and cards. “They have made me cry most of the time.”
Charles also received support from his estranged son, Prince Harry, who rushed to London from Los Angeles to see his father after learning of his diagnosis.
When asked by “Good Morning America” earlier this month if his father’s diagnosis could have a “reunifying effect” on his family, Harry said: “Absolutely. If I’m sure.”
“In all these families (Invictus), I see that on a daily basis the strength of the family unit comes together. I think any illness brings families together,” he added from the ski slopes of his training camp founded by Invictus Games.
When asked about “his perspective” on Charles’ health, Harry said the information “remains between him and me.”
