What happens when royalty get cancer?
July 04, 2025 · 54 min

Welcome to another episode of That Cancer Conversation! 

For our series finale, Sophie is joined by royal correspondent and best-selling author, Katie Nicholl. 

Katie has spent over 20 years writing about the British royal family, from A-levels to coronations, Katie has reported it all. But when King Charles III and Princess Catherine both announced their cancer diagnoses, their stories hit very close to home, as only a few months earlier Katie finished her own treatment for liver cancer.

On this episode, Katie talks to Sophie about her own personal cancer story, being diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer (cholangiocarcinoma), and reflects on the impact the King and Princess of Wales have made from their own cancer experiences.
