King Charles shares emotional video featuring Amy Dowden, Sir Chris Hoy and BBC stars one year on from cancer shock
KING Charles has shared an emotional video one year on from his shock cancer diagnosis.
The clip - shared on the monarch's social media channels today for World Cancer Day - also features GB cycling legend Sir Chris Hoy, who revealed late last year he is terminal.
The Olympic gold medallist opened up about his stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis in October.
The 48-year-old dad said doctors gave him up to four years to live.
Strictly star Amy Dowden, who underwent treatment for stage-three breast cancer in 2023, is also featured in the compilation.
As is TV presenter Fearne Cotton, who had two tumours removed from her jawline in December.
A post alongside the post said: "This World Cancer Day, we are sending love to all those navigating a cancer diagnosis – as well as the incredible doctors, nurses, charities and families who work tirelessly to support them."
The post went on to list charities which support patients, including MacMillan, Maggie's Centres and Cancer Research UK.
In the video, Sir Chris says: "We're all in this together, you're not alone. Keep living life every single day, and keep smiling, and don't forget to enjoy the here and now."
Amy says: "I am sending so much love, strength and thoughts to those affected by cancer.
"I remember after I was diagnosed nurse telling me to stop holding it all in. If I needed to have a good cry, let it all out."
It comes after news the King's cancer treatment is "moving in a positive direction" and is continuing into 2025.
A source told Sky News in December: "His treatment has been moving in a positive direction.
"As a managed condition the treatment cycle will continue into next year."
Charles endured a difficult second year on the throne - with not only his own cancer diagnosis but also that of daughter-in-law Princess Kate.
But the source said the brave king had coped with the past year with a "determination to be as public as he was able" to reassure the nation about how much he could still do.
