In a surprising turn of events, King Charles has reportedly sought solace and spiritual support from a long-time friend, Archimandrite Ephraim, following his recent cancer diagnosis. The King, known for his inclination towards alternative treatments, has been confiding in the Greek Orthodox monk shortly after receiving the distressing news last month.
Archimandrite Ephraim, who shares a close bond with King Charles spanning over two decades, confirmed the deepening of their friendship, acknowledging the King’s spiritual journey during this challenging time. Speaking to The Sun, he expressed confidence in King Charles’s ability to overcome the ordeal: “Charles has a spiritual sophistication, a spiritual life. Yes, he has been in contact since the diagnosis and I believe he’ll overcome it – we have a very good rapport.”
Sources close to the King revealed that he has been immersing himself in meditation, prayer, and ancient rituals under the guidance of Archimandrite Ephraim. Embracing practices such as rising at 4 am to partake in liturgical ceremonies, King Charles finds solace and focus amidst his health battle.
The revelation of King Charles seeking spiritual counsel comes on the heels of speculation regarding his approach to treatment. Reports suggest that he is exploring alternative medicines from the comfort of his Sandringham residence.
As the King navigates this challenging chapter, his reliance on spirituality and the support of trusted companions like Archimandrite Ephraim underscore his resilient spirit and unwavering determination to confront adversity.”
