<p id=”par-1_62″>King Charles’ life has changed quite a bit in 2024. In early February, the king revealed that he had gone into the hospital for prostate surgery — but that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/king-charles-kate-middleton-exact-opposite-cancer-diagnosis-reaction.html/”>cancer was discovered</a> at the same time. Although <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/king-charles/”>King Charles</a> has never revealed what type of cancer he has, the king has been doing fairly well and has returned to full royal duties.</p>
<p id=”par-2_32″>Still, he has to continue to put his health first, and now, reports suggest that Charles is being tasked with making one major change to his diet as he continues to recover.</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-king-charles-has-been-urged-to-start-eating-lunch”>King Charles has been urged to start eating lunch</h2>
<p id=”par-3_73″>Charles needs to make sure his strength continues to improve, and that includes a balanced diet. However, the king has <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/prince-charles-lunch.html/”>notoriously skipped lunch</a> almost every day. According to a fact sheet about the king released by Clarence House a couple of years back, he often skipped lunch and opted only for breakfast and dinner. This was likely due to having a busy schedule and appointments throughout the day where lunch didn’t fit in.</p>
<p id=”par-4_75″>However, now that he has been undergoing cancer treatment, <a href=”https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1958230/king-charles-cancer-treatment-diet-royal-family”>Express</a> reports that Charles is now being advised to fit lunch into his regular plan. It might seem like a small change, but adding a new meal that your body isn’t used to is something you might have to plan out. But Charles needs to continue improving his strength; eating enough food, plus getting the proper vitamins and minerals, is a big way to do that.</p>
<p id=”par-5_36″>Charles has not spoken much of his cancer since he was diagnosed; the focus has been more on Kate Middleton ever since Charles returned to royal duties. However, the king still reportedly is battling his cancer.</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-the-royal-family-has-prioritized-health-and-family-this-year”>The royal family has prioritized health and family this year</h2>
<p id=”par-6_50″>2024 has brought some challenges to the royals, with Kate and Charles both undergoing treatment. Kate took the first nine months of the year off, though she did attend a handful of events in the summer. Charles returned to royal duties in the spring but has been taking it slow.</p>
<p id=”par-7_78″>The royals have put family and health above all else this year. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/king-charles-cancer-given-prince-harry-good-excuse-to-just-move-on-commentator-says-theyre-probably-further-past-the-conflict-than-we-think-they-are.html/”>Prince Harry made a trip</a> to the UK shortly after Charles was diagnosed so the two could have a talk. William and Kate have made memories and time with their children as Kate continued to go through chemotherapy. And in Kate’s video revealing she was cancer-free, she noted that family has been so important to her — and featured her husband and kids throughout the video. </p>
