It's been a year since King Charles III, the eldest son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, was crowned at London's Westminster Abbey. The monarch has since been diagnosed with cancer.

King Charles III has won over the hearts of many Britons as he faces his biggest battle yet. The reigning monarch, who was crowned on May 6, 2023, at London’s Westminster Abbey, is currently battling cancer. The 75-year-old’s decision to be open about his diagnosis has helped the public connect with the monarchy on a personal level, several royal experts told Fox News Digital. And it’s not just the king who has spoken about his health woes.

This unfortunate health battle has not only brought the king and his daughter-in-law closer, but it’s also endeared them to millions of people around the world who have dealt with a scary cancer diagnosis themselves or that of a loved one,' Shannon Felton Spence, former British public affairs official, explained to Fox News Digital.

Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,' the palace said in a statement at the time. In a video shared in March, the Princess of Wales, 42, revealed that she, too, is battling a form of cancer. Her stunning announcement followed weeks of speculation about her health and whereabouts. Middleton asked for 'time, space and privacy' while she is treated for an unspecified type of cancer that was discovered after what she described as 'major' surgery.

King Charles' openness about his cancer, caught many by surprise when he revealed his condition in such a public manner,' royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital. 'His mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, was stoic to the end but never spoke publicly about any health issues,' he shared. ' was quite obvious her health was failing, especially to those at the palace who saw her going around in a wheelchair. I feel the public has warmed to the king even more .

As the first anniversary of The Coronation approaches, Their Majesties remain deeply grateful for the many kindnesses and good wishes they have received from around the world throughout the joys and challenges of the past year,' the statement concluded. The news came after the monarch took a three-month break following his cancer diagnosis. The Princess of Wales has continued to maintain a low profile during her treatment.
