King Charles Says He Lost His Sense of Taste From Cancer Treatment
King Charles III said today that he had lost his sense of taste due to his ongoing treatment for cancer.
Buckingham Palace has not said what cancer the king is suffering from or how he is being treated—though radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy can all affect a person’s sense of taste.
He made the remarks while comparing notes about his treatment with a retired soldier who was treated for testicular cancer.
