King Charles shared health update with cancer survivor

Safeena Khan, who runs a local floristry business, presented King Charles with a bouquet inspired by his gardens at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.

As a cancer survivor herself, Safeena had a heartfelt conversation with Charles about their shared experience.

She called the conversation "lovely" and shared that they exchanged some pleasantries.

The King, who still undergoes a weekly cycle of cancer treatment gave Safeena a "thumbs up" when asked about his health, he told, "I'd like to think I’m on the better side [of my cancer journey]."

While discussing her own cancer journey, Safeena noted, "It is not something easy to discuss. Two years on [from my own cancer journey], I still find it difficult."

She added, "I think you have to accept that you're going through it first, and then the fight begins. I think the key is that you don't give up on yourself. The biggest form of disrespect to yourself is giving up."
