What happens to the average person when they know they have cancer? Panicked, sad, grieved, or feeling like the sky is falling?
In February 2024, the 75-year-old Charles was diagnosed with cancer, which is his second year as king, as the longest-waiting crown prince in British history, Charles may have become accustomed to the jokes that life plays on him, actively accept **, and even bring his wife Camilla to the event.
In January this year, the British royal family announced that Charles would be hospitalized for surgery to undergo orthopedic prostate hypertrophy, and Charles was discharged from the hospital soon after the operation. When he was discharged from the hospital, the official said that he was fine, and he only needed to recuperate, but unfortunately Charles was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer within half a month, and according to foreign media, he may only have 6 months left in his life.
Charles III's cancer diagnosis shocked the world, some people said that he was retributed because of the loss of his wife, some people said that he was old and stressed, and some people felt that they were not in good feng shui without Elizabeth II.
However, the most recent public appearance of the resilient king seemed to tell us, "Gee, what a little challenge of mine!" At the event, his face was ruddy and smiling, as if he was gently brushing away the public's worries in his own way.
Just last week, Charles III appeared at a charity event in London. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit, with a steady step and a smile. If it weren't for knowing his health in advance, I'm afraid no one would have thought that this royal family member was battling cancer. The atmosphere was even warmer by his presence, and he shook hands with everyone, and from time to time his laughter and words of encouragement rang out.
Charles's childhood story, if summed up in one sentence, is: growing up alone in a golden cage. In a strictly royal environment, Charles's childhood was more of an endless marathon, with the starting line set at various boarding schools. During his time at Gordonston and Timms School, Charles went through a lot of difficult times, and although his report card was full of excellence, the tears in the corners of his eyes were the most real unpleasant records. 
In Charles's memory, there was always a suffocating silence on the Gordonston's campus, where the trees seemed to whisper the story of how a little prince grew up alone in a golden cage. In this school, which is known as the cradle of the elite, Charles has not found a paradise of his own. Instead, it was as if he was forced to participate in a performance without an audience, struggling with the expectations of his teachers and classmates every day. 
On one occasion, Charles gave his views on the British monarchy in history class, only to be met with laughter. The teacher's brow was furrowed, the eyes of his classmates were full of disdain, and at that moment, Charles felt like an antique forgotten by the times, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not fit into them. That night, Charles hid under the covers and secretly wept, tears soaking his pillow, while the weight of loneliness and incomprehension weighed him down and he could barely breathe. The Timms school experience has been a painful one. Charles once got lost during a wilderness survival training and spent an entire afternoon wandering alone in the forest. When he finally found his way back to the camp, night had fallen, and instead of worry and comfort, he was greeted by the cold reproach of the instructor and the imperceptible indifference of his classmates. At that moment, Charles felt isolated as a member of the royal family for the first time, and he realized that no matter where he went, that golden cage would follow closely. 
If education was the first stress of Charles's childhood, then the expectations of parents can definitely be called second. Expectations from Prince Philip, in particular, were like an unattainable mountain that suffocated Charles. And Charles's heart actually has a world of love for nature and art, but it is a pity that this world seems out of place in front of the strict norms of the royal family.
Charles felt extremely lonely and misunderstood in his family and royal duties, like a cactus growing alone in the desert, suffering in silence even if it was exposed to the wind and the sun.
I finally got married as an adult, but I couldn't choose the person I liked. Charles and Diana's marriage is a fairytale wedding on the outside, but a war without a winner on the inside. The feud between the two and the long-term emotional entanglement between Charles and Camilla have become the most embarrassing page in the history of the British royal family. Charles's struggle between meeting public expectations and pursuing personal happiness is like a butterfly trapped in a glass bottle, unable to fly out no matter how much he struggles. What is even more painful is that this triangular relationship finally became one of the most high-profile scandals in the history of the British royal family. The intimate phone call between Charles and Camilla was made public, and Diana confessed her dissatisfaction and pain about her marriage in an interview. This series of events has greatly damaged Charles's image and made Diana an object of sympathy all over the world.
It is precisely because of the emotional entanglement with Diana that when the public learned that Charles was suffering from cancer, many people said that he had been punished, and those who lost their wives would be retributed.
Even so, Charles remained positive in the face of cancer**. At a recent event, Charles did not directly mention his health, but his "leading by example" gesture was enough to send his message. He seems to be telling everyone with his actions: even members of the royal family will face challenges in life, and the key is how to face them. His optimism and bravery have undoubtedly given great encouragement to those who are also battling the disease.
Some foreign media broke the news that Charles is recently renovating Sandringham's garden, and like his grandfather George VI, Charles is also an enthusiastic gardener. The manor in the red brick country is very suitable for Charles's cultivation, and the red box full of ** documents will be transported to him to handle official business. Working in such an environment will make you feel better.
Charles III's public appearance was not only a positive response to his illness, but also a declaration of courage and hope to the world. When faced with life's challenges, positivity and optimism are our strengthest.
