King Charles, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, has praised people who “extend the hand of friendship, especially in a time of need”, and echoed the pledge to serve the nation that the British monarch made at his coronation last year. Charles delivered the remarks in a recorded message which will be aired at the ancient Maundy Thursday church service at Worcester Cathedral in central England which the 75-year-old king will miss due to his illness.

” The recording was made before his daughter-in-law, Kate, the Princess of Wales and wife of his eldest son Prince William, issued a video message in which she revealed she was having preventative chemotherapy after cancer was discovered in the aftermath of abdominal surgery in January.
