Charles was speaking with British Army veteran Aaron Mapplebeck. Mapplebeck shared his own experience of losing taste after chemotherapy for testicular cancer. It prompted the 75-year-old King to reveal his similar experience. Buckingham Palace has, however, not yet confirmed specific details about the King's cancer or treatment.

The King transferred the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to his son, Prince William, at Hampshire Airfield. Charles, the original holder of the title for 32 years, met the Prince of Wales at Middle Wallop base to pass on the role.

The King expressed joy in meeting servicemen, families and veterans at the Army Flying Museum, where he unveiled a plaque for an Apache AH Mk.1 helicopter on display. This helicopter was used in a rescue mission during the 2007 Battle of Jugroom Fort.

“Let me just say what a great joy it is to be with you even briefly on this occasion but also it is tinged with great sadness after 32 years of knowing you all, admiring your many activities and achievements through the time that I’ve been lucky enough to be Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps,” The Independent quoted the monarch as saying.
