King Charles today gave a personal insight into his battle with cancer as he revealed he has lost his sense of taste.
The monarch, 75, was speaking to British Army veteran and cancer survivor Aaron Mapplebeck while visiting the Army Flying Museum in Middle Wallop, Hampshire, this afternoon where the pair discussed the side effects of treatment.
When Mr Mapplebeck said he had lost his sense of taste during chemotherapy last year, the King said this had also happened to him.
Charles arrived by helicopter for the special ceremony with Prince William where he officially handed over command of Prince Harry’s former regiment.
Meanwhile, a war of words has erupted between Harry and the King’s camps over last week’s Invictus Games Foundation event which neither Charles nor William attended.
“It’s all very sad,” said a friend of Charles, according to The Times. “While he was hardly going to roll out the red carpet the moment this Invictus trip was announced, with doctors advising him to focus on his treatment and recovery, the idea that he refused to find space in his diary…Well, let’s say recollections may vary once again.”
A friend of Harry’s hit back: “Could His Majesty not have made a request to see his son? It was widely known he was coming.”

Harry is trying to shed his royal skin – but he’s a man who can’t escape his past
Even hardened Sussex critics took a sharp intake of breath when they heard that the King would not meet Prince Harry last week. The Duke fleetingly arrived in London to headline at an Invictus 10th anniversary celebration in St Paul’s Cathedral, but despite the religious framework, he was not greeted as the prodigal son by his father.
Quite the reverse. 2.6 miles away (yes many measured the distance) the King was otherwise engaged, welcoming crowds in a top hat at his first Buckingham Garden Party of the season.
The sun shone, but domestic clouds stubbornly persisted.

Meghan reveals ‘exciting’ family discovery as she calls Nigeria ‘my country’
The Duchess of Sussex has opened up about finding out she is partly Nigerian through a genealogy test. Meghan met with women in the West African nation on Saturday (11 May) and acknowledged Nigeria as “my country” during a speech. She said: “When I had done the genealogy and I found out about my heritage, the first thing I did obviously was call my mom because I wanted to know if she had any awareness of it and I think, being African American and part of it is really not knowing so much about your lineage, your background, where you come from specifically and it was exciting for both of us to discover more and understand what that really means.”
