“His sore lips have caused some people to draw back in horror. And his complexion is raw and ruddy. His courtiers worry he’s neglecting his health by putting the kingdom first,” an insider claimed. “Clearly, he’s sicker than he makes himself out to be.”

In spite of his ailing health, the dutiful king spent his birthday championing a charity project aimed at ending food poverty in South London.

Attempts at covering the sores that burned the skin on his lips and mouth completely failed. “What on earth were his people thinking? They just troweled on the slap and made him look white and pasty and like he’d just stepped out of a museum of waxworks,” shares a royal expert.

“Sure, they were concerned about the blotchy face and sores around his lips and in his mouth, but they swapped that look, which are just the wounds of his chemo, for a deathly white pallor,” says the observer, suggesting the king’s illness and chemotherapy is taking its toll.

“And his new birthday picture is just the worst. Truly awful,” the tipster adds of the shocking birthday portrait shared on the Royal Family’s official X account.

The post, captioned “Wishing His Majesty The King a very Happy Birthday today,” shows the monarch dressed in a sharp blue suit, a crisp white shirt, and a blue patterned tie, with one hand casually tucked into his pocket and the other resting on a chair.

We are hopeful that Charles will overcome both his health struggles and the complications stemming from his treatment.
