Renowned actress Joanna Lumley has publicly praised King Charles III for his remarkable strength and warmth as he continues his battle with cancer. The Absolutely Fabulous star described the monarch as "extraordinary" and "kind-hearted," offering a touching insight into his character during this challenging time.
A Royal with Resilience
Lumley, who has known the King for decades, spoke fondly of his ability to maintain his trademark humour and compassion despite his health struggles. "He's facing this with such grace," she remarked, emphasising how his positive attitude has inspired those around him.
Shared History of Charity Work
The actress highlighted their shared commitment to charitable causes, particularly environmental issues. "We've worked together on various projects over the years," Lumley explained, "and his dedication to making a difference has never wavered, even now."
Public Support for the Monarch
Since the announcement of his diagnosis earlier this year, public support for King Charles has been overwhelming. Lumley's comments echo the sentiments of many Britons who admire the King's openness about his health journey.
The Palace has confirmed that while the King has stepped back from some public duties, he continues to undertake essential state business and remains actively involved in his charitable patronages.
