He sent his own message amid his own personal battle with cancer and her battle with disease. King Charles said he continues to serve the nation with “all my heart” in a personal Easter message after the diagnosis of cancer of himself and the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton. The video audio message was broadcast today Great Thursday (28.03.2024) for Catholic Easter during the operation at the Warsaw Cathedral ahead of Easter. The king, who announced in February that he was undergoing treatment for cancer, spoke of his “special prayer” this Easter and expressed his “great regret” that he was unable to attend Mass. The monarch read a passage from the Bible that tells of Jesus washing his disciples ’ feet and talking about his example. He said that the verse, from the Gospel to John, “has its origin in the life of our Lord, who kneeled before his disciples and to their great surprise washed their tired feet.” The monarch said that in this way, Jesus set “an example of how we should serve and care for each other” – and how as a nation “we need and benefit greatly from those who tend to us the hand of friendship, especially in times of need.” 75-year-old King Charles, who ascended the throne 18 months ago, stated that his act of worship reminded him of his promise at the beginning of his coronation to follow the example of Christ – “not to be served, but to serve.” “That’s what I’ve always tried to do and I keep doing with all my heart,” he said. “It is my special prayer today that the example of our Lord will continue to inspire us and strengthen all our communities.” And he added: “God bless you all this Easter”. The monarch – who has retired from large-scale public duties, while undergoing treatment for cancer – sits in his office in the 18th-century hall of Buckingham Palace.
