THE MONARCH CONFIDES IN SANDRINGHAM'S REVEREND
King Charles PREPARES FOR THE WORST

As the head of the Church of England, King Charles has always been a spiritual man, and a noted scholar of many global religions. And it's no secret among courtiers that as he continues to live with his cancer diagnosis, Charles is leaning heavily on his faith, especially since a Buckingham Palace source recently confirmed his cancer treatment will now continue well into 2025.

His attendance at church has increased this year, and New Idea understands Charles is in constant counsel with Reverend Paul Williams. He is based at St Mary Magdalene Church on the fringes of the royal family's Sandringham estate in Norfolk.

In recent weeks, onlookers were startled to see the usually cheerful King appearing distressed while in conversation with Reverend Williams following a Sunday church service.

“Charles was visibly emotional,” a source tells New Idea. “He had his head when he attends Sunday service so this was a real departure from the norm."
