King Charles delivers Christmas speech, thanks ‘selfless doctors and nurses’ amid cancer treatment

King Charles' cancer treatment is believed to be ongoing. He has slowly returned to public life in recent months and was in good spirits on a tour of Australia and the South Pacific in October.

"From a personal point of view, I offer special, heartfelt thanks to the selfless doctors and nurses who this year have supported me and other members of my family through the uncertainties and anxieties of illness and have helped provide the strength, care and comfort we have needed." Stephanie Nolasco covers entertainment at Foxnews.com.

The broadcast came several hours after the monarch attended Christmas Day services at a church in Sandringham. Charles was accompanied by his wife Queen Camilla, his son Prince William, Kate and his three grandchildren. Kate, who has slowly returned to public duties after completing chemotherapy, was spotted hugging a cancer patient after the service. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
