King Charles reveals he lost his ‘sense of taste’ during emotional chat
King Charles today revealed he lost his sense of taste during cancer treatment.
The 75-year-old monarch was speaking to British Army veteran Aaron Mapplebeck while visiting the Army Flying Museum in Middle Wallop, Hampshire, this afternoon.
Mr Mapplebeck said he underwent chemotherapy last year for testicular cancer and lost his sense of taste, to which the King revealed this had also happened to him.
Buckingham Palace has not yet confirmed details of the King’s treatment, with royal officials only saying so far that he is being treated for an undisclosed form of cancer.
Earlier, Charles arrived by helicopter for a special ceremony with Prince William where he officially handed over command of Prince Harry’s former regiment.
