King Charles has received a surprise message of support from a vocal anti-monarchy group.
Republic has sent wishes of a "speedy recovery" to King Charles, after Buckingham Palace confirmed the monarch was diagnosed with a form of cancer.
The anti-monarchy group, which made very public negative statements about the monarchy during the Coronation last year, has issued a statement on social media regarding the monarch's diagnosis.
They posted on X: "Cancer is an awful disease and we're very sorry to hear of Charles's diagnosis. We wish him a speedy recovery."
