King Charles\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>spoke about friendship and service during his first speech since\u00a0Kate Middleton\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>cancer diagnosis was revealed on Thursday, March 28. The king\u2019s remarks were pre-recorded and played during a Maundy Thursday service at Worcester Cathedral in England. He spoke about the importance of friendship and leading through service during the emotional message.<\/p>\n

At the start of the speech, Charles expressed his disappointment that he would not be able to physically be there for the service, before sharing a story about Jesus. \u201cLadies and gentlemen, it is for me a great sadness that I cannot be with you all today. The Maundy Service has a very special place in my heart. It has its origin in the life of our Lord, who knelt before his disciples and to their great surprise, washed their travel-weary feet,\u201d he said. \u201cAs we have just heard, in doing so, he deliberately gave to them and to us all an example of how we should serve and care for each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

While speaking about the many organizations that help people across the U.K. and the \u201ckindness\u201d of different people who service their communities, Charles spoke about how friendship is very important during difficult times. \u201cWe need and benefit greatly from those who extend the hand of friendship to us, especially in our time of need,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

As he concluded, he spoke about how he tries to follow in Jesus\u2019 footsteps as he offered an Easter message to the congregation. This act of worship here in Worcester Cathedral reminds me of the pledge I made at the beginning of the coronation service to follow Christ\u2019s example not to be served but to serve. That, I have always tried to do and continue to do with my whole heart. It is my special prayer today that our Lord\u2019s example of serving one another might continue to inspire us and to strengthen all our communities,\u201d he said. \u201cMay God bless you all this Easter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The speech came over a month after Charles announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer,<\/a> after undergoing a procedure for an enlarged prostate. While undergoing treatment, he\u2019s continued to make occasional public appearances<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Charles\u2019 Easter message also came about a week after his daughter-in-law Kate Middleton revealed that she\u2019d also been diagnosed with cancer. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said that he\u2019s very supportive<\/a> of the Princess of Wales amid her own health battle. \u201c[The king] is so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did,\u201d they said in a statement to\u00a0Entertainment Tonight.\u00a0<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
