London CNN —The many messages of support King Charles III received following his cancer diagnosis “reduced me to tears most of the time,” the British monarch has said in a new statement released by Buckingham Palace Friday.
The King has received more than 7,000 letters and cards from across the world since his diagnosis earlier this month, the palace revealed.
The British monarch also said the messages had “reduced me to tears most of the time.”Buckingham Palace announced on February 6 that the 75-year-old British King had been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer and would be stepping back from public-facing duties while he undergoes treatment.
Though the King has stopped carrying out public engagements while he undergoes his cancer treatment, he is continuing with his duties as head of state.
Alongside the statement of appreciation, Buckingham Palace on Friday also shared some of the images and videos the king has received.
