King Charles, 75, opened up about the side effects of his cancer treatment during a visit to the Army Flying Museum in Hampshire on Monday. The monarch’s discussion with a veteran who had also undergone chemotherapy led to a touching exchange. During the visit, Charles met with his son William, 41, in front of an Apache helicopter to officially appoint him as the leader of Harry’s former helicopter unit.

The event included a heartfelt moment between Charles and British Army veteran Aaron Mapplebeck, who had received chemotherapy for testicular cancer last year. The brave vet explained how he endured nine weeks of intensive chemo in February 2023 and is now almost a year post-treatment. They also discussed side effects, with Mapplebeck mentioning how he lost his sense of taste according to The Sun.

Buckingham Palace remains tight-lipped on the specifics of King Charles’ cancer treatment, with royal officials only confirming that he is receiving care for an undisclosed form of the illness. Despite this, the King was in high spirits, waving to the large crowds that gathered to greet him according to reports.

King Charles made his first public appearance since beginning treatment on April 30, accompanied by Queen Camilla, at the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre in London. His visit to the army museum and the ceremonial handover of the military title took place at the Army Aviation Centre in Hampshire.

The king appointed his eldest son as the new Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, a position once held by Prince Harry during his service in Afghanistan. This latest development, confirmed over the weekend, is seen as a turn of events for Prince Harry, who missed the ceremony.

A spokesperson for Prince Harry confirmed that he and the King would not reunite during his brief U.K. trip for the Invictus Games service. However, PEOPLE reported that the Duke of Sussex, 39, had invited his father, brother, and sister-in-law Kate Middleton, who is also undergoing cancer treatment. Unfortunately, none attended the celebration.

In his speech, the King said on Monday, “I did just want to say what a great joy it is to be with you, even briefly, on this occasion. But also, it turns with great sadness after 32 years of knowing you all, and admiring all your many activities and your achievements throughout the time that I’ve been lucky enough to be Colonel-in-Chief of the Army over. With this remarkable Apache here, I remember I think I probably was taken up in one of these ones all those years ago.”

He continued, “I shall never forget it, nor will I forget the fact that when I first became Colonel-in-Chief, you still had quite a few fixed-wing aircraft, one or two of which I flew in, along with some rather ancient helicopters. So all I can say is that having had the pleasure of knowing you for so long, I do hope you’ll go from strength to strength in the future with the Prince of Wales as your new Colonel-in-Chief.”

“The great thing is he’s a very good pilot indeed, so that’s encouraging.” He finished, “So look after yourselves, and I can’t tell you how proud it has made me to have been involved with you all this time. Thank you.”
