King Charles reads get well cards sent to Buckingham Palace
King Charles has taken the time out of his busy schedule to read some of the thousands of get well cards sent to Buckingham Palace following the news of his cancer diagnosis.
In a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, this morning, the King was seen reading an array of colourful get well cards from royal fans.
The caption in the video reads, "The Correspondence Team at Buckingham Palace have received more than 7000 letters and cards from across the world. The King has been sent a selection in his daily red box of paperwork.

"Many share their own experience with cancer. Others offer good wishes and advice for a speedy recovery. To everyone who took the time to write, THANK YOU. As His Majesty has said, 'Such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement.'''
One of the cards the monarch enjoyed reading had a drawing of a dog in a cone that read, "King Charles, at least you don't have to wear a cone!"
Another message, written by a child, gave the King a to-do list: "Never give up. Be brave. Don't push your limits. Get Well Soon."
Another well-wisher added, "chin up, chest out, remain positive and don't let it get you down. Trust me, it works, but the main thing is family."
The 75-year-old was so touched by the cards that he even told British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak about them when they met for a meeting earlier this week.
"I've had so many wonderful messages... reduced me to tears most of the time," he said
"I can imagine," Sunak replied in the short video shared online.
The regular meeting, which is usually held in private, was shared online as public concern about the King's health mounted.
"This afternoon, The King held an Audience with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at Buckingham Palace, following a meeting of the Privy Council," the description read.
