Eden Gillott went on to explain to us why she feels King Charles III may have felt compelled to release a statement within a week of the news breaking that he was receiving cancer treatment. “If he were to fall quiet for too long, speculation would swirl more rapidly regarding his health.” The avoidance of speculation was specifically included in the first Buckingham Palace statement as to one of the reasons that they were publicly revealing his diagnosis.
In the thank-you response, Gillott explained that “even though he didn’t share details — positive or negative, this statement is a way of checking in.” That check-in goes a long way to help present the king as not overly worried about his swift return to full health.
