GB News host Nana Akua has expressed her concern for another royal annus horribilis for the monarchy, as both King Charles and Princess Kate receive treatments for cancer.
The King and Princess of Wales have announced in recent months that they have both diagnosed with cancer.
GBN America host Nana Akua said the announcements were "sad and terrible news" for the Royal Family, claiming that "the King and Catherine are obviously two of the main star players and the Royal Family".
Nana recalled the year of 1992 for the Royal Family, as the late Queen Elizabeth II labelled the events of that year as "annus horribilis".

Nana told royal commentator Lady Colin Campbell: "It feels like we're back there again.
Lady C agreed, responding: "I think to an extent you're right, because so much that's untoward has gone on."
Lady C noted in recent years, the Royal Family have faced not only their health concerns, but also "Harry and Meghan and their followers antics".
Reacting to the Princess of Wales's cancer diagnosis, Lady C said the fact that Kate stressed she is "well" implies "that they have caught everything".

Lady C explained: "She did make the point that it was preventative. Preventative chemotherapy means just making sure there are no free radicals floating around anywhere, so they're doing a mopping up exercise."

She added: "William and Catherine are coping as positively and as well as they can. They're both very levelheaded people, they're not drama queens like Harry and Meghan, they're not going to make a drama into a crisis.
"And they're going to be coping with this in as measured and sensible a way as possible."
Nana was in agreement with Lady C, but admitted she is "concerned" for the King and Princess, as they are the "key players" in the Royal Family.
Lady C reassured Nana: "I understand from people in the medical profession that she is actually the ideal patient because she's very positive, she's very intelligent, she's not creating a drama and a crisis where there's no need to. And she's evidently very amenable. She's very fit, she's very athletic, so that's all good."

In the Princess's moving video statement, she asked for "privacy" for her young family to "process" a "tough few months" since her operation and the beginning of her treatment, but stressed she is "well" and thanked royal fans for their support.
King Charles is also set to be in attendance at Easter Sunday service in Windsor, his first public appearance since beginning his cancer treatment.
The King is reportedly being seated separately from the Royal Family as a "precaution" to protect his health.
A palace source said the King’s planned attendance a “sign of things heading in the right direction”, according to The Telegraph.
