King Charles’s goddaughter has shared details of her recent skin cancer experience on social media this week. India Hicks, who is the daughter of one of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s ladies-in-waiting and the granddaughter of Lord Mountbatten, has been open about her recent experience with cancer.
India, 58, wrote in her Substack on Tuesday that cancer had been found in her calf. She then said that she had undergone a procedure.
Writing online, India said: “I had hoped for a whole week at home. A week with no airports, no security queues, no lost chargers or boarding groups. Just stillness. But life, with its own mysterious choreography, shifted the plan.”
She continued: “The test results from a recent skin-cancer operation came back and the news was… not great. Not dramatic-movie-scene not great, but just unsettlingly not great.
“The kind of news that makes the world blur slightly at the edges. The results showed a worryingly fast-moving patch of cancer in my lower calf.
“I reacted the way most people do: a strange mixture of calm practicality and a little private terror. You tell yourself you’re fine, you make tea, you answer emails, all while a small internal voice is whispering, what if it’s worse than we think?”
She then said the procedure was “only relatively uncomfortable” and she had been “lucky”.
