The meeting was held at Buckingham Palace.
The Prime Minister is said to have said: “It is wonderful that you look so good,” to which the King replied, laughing:
“Everything is made of mirrors (optical illusion and/or magic trick. Note).”
– It can be very dangerous
– Wonderful messages
Furthermore, the conversation took a somewhat more serious turn when the cancer diagnosis became the topic, and the King began to thank him for the support he had received in recent weeks.
He said he was deeply touched by all the cards and congratulations he received.
Although the purpose of the meeting was not to diagnose his condition, he shook hands with the Prime Minister, knowing full well that the press would be there to scrutinize the king’s health.
according to BBC The king has temporarily suspended public visits while he receives treatment, but will continue his duties as head of state, such as meetings with the prime minister.
“I have received so many wonderful letters and cards, they have often made me cry,” said the king upon his arrival.
