King Charles III Says He’s Lost Sense of Taste Amid Cancer Treatment
King Charles III‘s health journey continues.
Since sharing he’d been diagnosed with an unnamed form of cancer in February, the British monarch has kept many details surrounding his health private in the months since. However during a recent visit to the Army Flying Museum in Middle Wallop, Hampshire, Charles shared further details about his treatment.
During his May 13 visit to the Museum, Charles was speaking with a British Army veteran named Aaron Mapplebeck who told the royal family member that he’d lost his sense of taste while undergoing treatment for cancer last year. During their conversation, per The Daily Mail, Charles confirmed he too had lost his sense of taste during the course of his treatment, though he didn’t share whether the effects were temporary.
The 75-year-old’s visit to the Army Flying Museum comes amid his recent return to public facing duties. Though he’d taken a step back following his initial diagnosis, allowing time for treatment and recovery, on April 30 Charles visited London’s University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre with Queen Camilla by his side.
