King Charles' aide shares royal protocol and when next announcement will come
King Charles' former aide has shared when the next announcement will come about his cancer diagnosis.
The King's former communications secretary Kristina Kyriacou was on This Morning today, where she discussed her former employer's cancer diagnosis. She explained how royal protocol works in terms of announcements on illness, and explained when we might get the next announcement about the King's health from Buckingham Palace.
Speaking on the show today, she said: "He doesn't want this all to be about him; he wants to get back to serving the public. He doesn't want further speculation about the type of cancer he's got, whether he can recover from it, how intense the treatment is. I think they put out just enough information. When he's ready to tell his story, if he's ready to tell his story, he will find the right way to do it in the way that he does. He's in touch with enough cancer care charities and members of the public to be able to do that."

Speaking on the show, he added: "From the moment he became King, there was a shift in the regal approach to communications. He's every comfortable in crowds; we saw after the Queen's death, he was into the crowds.
"We've seen time and again, he's comfortable with communication. He's comfortable with giving interviews and that's something the late Queen didn't do. He's part of a younger generation and you would have never seen this before."

He added: "People will say, 'well we know about that [the enlarged prostate] so why can't we know about this now', and I think everyone wants to hold some things back. The palace works on precedence and if they said now, people would expect everything at every stage. When we need to know something, we'll know."
Paul Burrell appeared on Lorraine today, where he spoke of the pressure Prince William will face. He said: "Whilst cancer is destructive, in a way it does bring families together and reminds you of your own mortality, which I'm sure is what the King is going through. Poor William, at the end of the day, because he has this awful responsibility coming his way, hurtling down the track faster than he thought he would. I know the King will recover from this, but it shows he is in a fragile condition, and if the King can't make the meeting in Samoa later this year, and he can't go to New Zealand for the tour, then it's going to fall back on William to do his responsibilities and to step up for the King. So there's an awful lot of pressure on William. His father's sick, his wife's sick and his brother's gone AWOL. Thank God for Princess Anne because she's never sick and she just soldiers on."
