RFK Jr. Adviser Claims COVID Vaccine May Have Given King Charles and Princess Kate Cancer: Report
The British cardiologist has repeatedly received criticism for his outspoken views, which are rarely backed by scientific research.
Both King Charles and Kate Middleton received devastating news in 2024 — the monarch was diagnosed with cancer in February, followed by the Princess of Wales in March. While Middleton completed her cancer treatment in September last year, the King remains under treatment and medical supervision. Commenting on their cancer battles, Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a leading adviser to anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claimed that Middleton and Charles may have developed cancer as a result of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Malhotra made a statement during a speech at the annual conference of Nigel Farage’s MAGA-inspired Reform Party on September 6. He said, "We have several published mechanisms of how the mRNA vaccine can increase the risk of cancer, confirmed by… Steven Hatfill." He added, "This is also supported by one of Britain’s most eminent oncologists, Angus Dalgleish, who is happy for me to share today that he believes it is highly likely members of the royal family developed cancer because of the COVID jab." The British cardiologist has repeatedly received criticism for his outspoken views, which are rarely backed by scientific research. He advises the RFK Jr.-linked activist group MAHA Action.
Malhotra told The Daily Beast that RFK Jr. and the Trump administration were hoping to ban the COVID mRNA vaccine in the following months. Like Malhotra, Hatfill, who was appointed in May as a senior HHS adviser within the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, remains a controversial figure. Hatfill, against all accepted scientific evidence, has repeatedly warned that COVID mRNA vaccines may be driving a 'cancer signal.' Last month, Malhotra argued that there are people within the Trump administration who agree with RFK Jr. that there are so-called 'injuries' caused by the vaccine. It is worth noting that Kennedy and the Trump associates do not have any medical qualifications.
Meanwhile, Dr Angus Dalgleish, who's an emeritus professor of oncology at the University of London and originally alleged that Charles and Middleton's cancers were linked to the COVID-19 vaccine, stressed, "[Although] we do not know that Charles and Kate’s unexpected cancers were caused by the vaccines, as they both presented with benign conditions… it is highly likely." Dalgleish believes that the mRNA boosters can drive rapid cancer progression.
This comes after Charles recently gave an update on his cancer battle during an appearance at the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital on September 3. After prostate cancer patient Matthew Shinda asked him about his ongoing treatment, Charles replied, "I'm not too bad...The great thing, I think, is they're getting better and better at dealing with these things. The trouble is, there's always hope down the road. I am sorry about that; it's so frustrating." While the monarch chose to share his diagnosis, he prefers to keep the type of cancer private. Middleton, for her part, has been in remission since January 2025.
