Charles recoded a personal message as part of a channel 4 showCredit: PA In his message, The King will stress the importance of cancer screening programmes in enabling early diagnosis and will reflect on his own recovery journey, it is understood.
Viewers can hear and watch his message, filmed last month in Clarence House, from 8pm tonight.
He is still undergoing cancer treatment after he revealed his diagnosis in February last year and the exact type has not been revealed.
The King’s message comes before Davina McCall hosts a live broadcast from a cancer clinic at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge as part of the Stand Up To Cancer evening of shows.
Buckingham Palace announced in February 2024 that Charles had cancer and he took several months off work.
He returned to front-line duty and was even well enough to embark on a tour to Australia and Samoa.
Earlier this year, The King offered blunt encouragement to patients in Northern Ireland, telling them to “keep b****ring on.”
He later added his own dose of realism when discussing treatment side effects: “You just have to push on, don’t you.”
Charles spent time inspecting cutting-edge research, peering down a microscope to watch microbubbles being shaken during tests.
The demonstration made him jump, prompting the King to copy the movement by shaking his head and hands in surprise.
Researchers briefed him on how different therapies affect the immune system, which sparked particular interest from the monarch.
He also pressed experts on why pancreatic cancer is so especially difficult to treat.
His curiosity comes after a gruelling personal year.
By September, palace insiders said his health was “heading in a very positive trajectory,” crediting his resilience and determination to remain visible.

In December, it emerged that his treatment would “continue into next year”, though progress was still “moving in a positive direction” – a sign of steady recovery from a monarch intent on pushing forward.
His treatment is understood to be continuing.
In April, Charles issued a heartfelt personal message to fellow patients speaking of “daunting and at times frightening experience”.
And praised the “community of care” adding “while every patient’s journey may be different, together you are ensuring that a cancer diagnosis need never mean facing the future without hope and support.”
The Princess of Wales revealed she had also been diagnosed with cancer several weeks after the King’s bombshell news last year.
But she revealed in January that her cancer was in remission.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment.
