King Charles Growing His Own Cannabis as He Battles Cancer Behind Palace Walls

In a jaw-dropping revelation that has stunned royal watchers and insiders alike, King Charles III is reportedly taking his cancer battle into his own hands — and in a way no one could have predicted.
While the world has seen the King putting on a brave face during his ongoing health struggle, shocking new details suggest that behind closed doors, Charles is embracing a controversial and highly unconventional approach to managing his illness — one that includes cannabis, whisky, and a heavy dose of stubborn royal defiance.
According to bombshell reports from Radar Online, the 75-year-old monarch has grown increasingly frustrated with the grueling rounds of chemotherapy that have marked his cancer treatment. Sources close to the palace claim Charles has been dodging some of his chemo sessions altogether, seeking alternative methods to cope with his symptoms and anxiety.
“Charles has been resisting going to his chemo sessions and turning them down at times,” one insider revealed. “He’s also been hitting the whisky himself – big-time. Both things have prompted stern warnings from his medical team and wife Camilla – but no one can tell Charles anything, even his wife.”
Despite the warnings, the King is reportedly determined to do things his own way, regardless of the risks or consequences. “He is tired of putting a brave face on his cancer fight,” the source added.
For years, King Charles has been known for his passion for holistic living, organic farming, and alternative medicine. But few expected him to take such a bold step in the middle of a serious health crisis. According to royal insiders, Charles has shifted his focus toward a strict diet of vegetables combined with medically-approved cannabis treatments.
A senior palace source explained, “Charles is now on two things – vegetables and medically-approved cannabis to treat his anxiety and pain. He believes it’s part of the way he will beat his disease alongside more conventional care, though he’s said to be skeptical of chemotherapy.”
This unconventional path aligns closely with the King’s lifelong interest in natural remedies and wellness. “At the very least, he wants it to help him hold onto his throne for as long as possible,” the insider remarked.
In a revelation that has sent shockwaves through Buckingham Palace, it’s been claimed that the King has even taken his commitment to alternative medicine one step further — by personally cultivating his own cannabis crop at Highgrove House, his cherished Gloucestershire estate.
“He’s been tending a little crop of cannabis in one of the greenhouses,” the source claimed. “It’s nothing too large – he’s not opening a dispensary – but it’s for personal medicinal use.”

While the idea of a reigning British monarch growing cannabis may sound unbelievable, it fits perfectly into Charles’ long-standing devotion to gardening, sustainability, and homegrown solutions. For decades, Highgrove has been his sanctuary, where he’s famously experimented with organic farming and eco-friendly innovations.
But this latest twist in the King’s private life is raising serious eyebrows among palace aides and medical professionals. Sources say Queen Camilla and the royal medical team have voiced strong concerns over his growing reliance on whisky and cannabis, especially as he navigates such a critical stage of his illness.
The King’s battle with cancer comes amid a particularly difficult period for the royal family, as his daughter-in-law, Princess Kate, is also undergoing her own cancer treatment. The double blow has left the monarchy under immense strain, with public appearances carefully managed as both senior royals focus on their health behind the scenes.
Despite the mounting concern, those close to Charles insist that his stubborn independence has always been part of his character. “He’s always marched to the beat of his own drum,” said one royal insider. “Even as King, that hasn’t changed.”
As the public continues to rally around both King Charles and Princess Kate during their respective cancer battles, these latest revelations add yet another layer of intrigue to the monarchy’s ongoing private struggles.
With his unorthodox methods and fierce determination to maintain control over his treatment, King Charles is proving that even in the face of serious illness, he remains as unpredictable — and as fascinating — as ever.
