GB News understands the letter will pass on the King's well-wishes, though the story rests on that one outlet. The Vatican announced on Tuesday that the 71-year-old Pope was scheduled for an operation to take out the bottom section of his right lung. It has cancelled all his audiences until 20 October, and Charles, 77, has been treated for cancer since 2024.
