Buckingham Palace omission reveals King Charles is cancer free?

King Charles was seen drinking a traditional Scottish “wee dram” of whisky during a community reception in Campbeltown, Argyll, as part of his royal duties in Scotland. 

According to reports, the 76-year-old monarch sampled a glass of Glen Scotia whisky, a local favorite, while mingling with residents at the Town Hall.

The royal family's Instagram account on Thursday shared a video of the king's visit with a caption that read, "Thank you to everyone who welcomed The King to Campbeltown today."

"Once known as the whisky capital of the world with 34 distilleries, Campbeltown is now experiencing a renaissance through the opening of new distilleries and local businesses."

"His Majesty met the farmers, producers and distillers who are at the heart of this remarkable town’s regeneration, discovering everything from artisanal cheeses to the renowned Campbeltown whiskies that continue its proud heritage."

The video's thumbnail clearly shows the King lifting the glass to his lips, but that scene is absent from the footage once played.

This editorial choice has raised eyebrows, particularly given the King’s ongoing treatment for an unspecified form of cancer. 

Buckingham Palace has offered limited updates on his health, saying only that he is doing well and resuming duties where appropriate.

The palace's decision to remove the exact moment showing a cancer patient drinking alcohol has raised questions.

Health experts often advise cancer patients to limit or avoid alcohol altogether, depending on the treatment and diagnosis. 

Therefore, some are questioning whether the King is now considered "out of the woods," or whether his doctors have made no such restrictions on his diet and lifestyle.
