Yes, I think Sunak did just make it up. Being charitable, though, it might not have been unreasonable for him to infer that Chaz's cancer has been diagnosed early doors, given that it was only discovered accidentally during treatment for an unrelated prostate problem. I dare say he's just trying to look on the bright side.

In fairness, he's expected to say something. Although he could have kept to "Sad news, best wishes".

[Watchman]

There's clearly a PR exercise in place; just repeat "caught early", "HM being positive" ad infinitum

"I can't breach medical confidences or just make up any old shit."

Aye, that would have hit the spot.

This guy's nutty as squirrel's shit.
There's been an upturn in Charlie boy's a Muslim and/or a puppet of the WEF secret world government. Related to the warm welcome given to Zelensky of course.

I'm as staunch a republican as Oliver Cromwell.

Dr McCoy has an invitation lunch with Charlie Rex and Cammie - as thanks for her N.H.S. works.
(I've heard hints it's the hurdle before getting posted up in the honours).

I've explained that I won't be going to such frippery.
Besides, it would be more deserving for one of her deputies to accompany her.

But even my hard-line stance on royalty can soften once in a while.

King meets Carney in symbolic support for Canada

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c78el01zd03o

King Charles gave a warm welcome to the new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney when he visited Buckingham Palace.

It was another symbolic gesture of support for Canada from a King, wearing a red tie, who has to send coded signals rather than spell things out in words, as Canada faces threats from US President Donald Trump.

Wouldn't wish the functions of a head of state to change under a presidency. Which are; oil the wheels of diplomacy, provide stability in a crisis, engage with civic society and keep your nose out of party politics.

[Killer Whale]

That's the arrangement in most of the commonwealth countries that have become republics, and Ireland too.

He's definitely less diplomatic than his mother, and good on him.

Really? Doesn't sound too serious in the BBC reports.
