King Charles gives very personal insight into his cancer battle: Monarch reveals he lost his 'sense of taste' during emotional chat with military veteran who underwent chemotherapy for testicular cancer

King Charles revealed today that he lost his sense of taste during cancer treatment.

The 75-year-old monarch was speaking to British Army veteran Aaron Mapplebeck while visiting the Army Flying Museum in Middle Wallop, Hampshire, this afternoon.

Mapplebeck said he underwent chemotherapy last year for testicular cancer and lost his sense of taste, and the King revealed this had happened to him too.

Buckingham Palace has yet to confirm details of the king’s treatment, and royal officials have so far only said that he is being treated for an undisclosed form of cancer.
