Please try again later {{ /verifyErrors }} King Charles III’s decision to be open about his cancer diagnosis has helped the new monarch connect with the people of Britain and strengthened the monarchy in the year since his dazzling coronation at Westminster Abbey. But the publication early last year of Harry’s bombshell memoir, “Spare,’’ deepened the rift with allegations about the unintentional racism of the royal family and sweetheart deals with the tabloid press. But throughout the last year, Charles worked to increase openness about the workings of the monarchy, continued to speak out on environmental issues and promoted interfaith dialogue, said George Gross, a royal historian at King's College London. It’s wrong to say he's taken advantage of it, because it’s a disastrous situation to be in, and anyone with a cancer diagnosis will be very worried, very concerned,” Gross said.
