Concerns Raised Over Royal Family’s Cancer Diagnosis and COVID-19 Vaccine
A prominent medical adviser to anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suggested that King Charles and Kate Middleton may have developed cancer as a result of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Last year, it was revealed that Charles and his daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, were undergoing treatment for cancer.
Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist who has drawn criticism for his controversial views, claims that their cancer could be linked to the mRNA vaccine. He references studies that have been discredited and also promoted by Steven Hatfill, a senior adviser from the Department of Health and Human Services known for advocating hydroxychloroquine during the Trump administration.
Trusted organizations like the CDC, FDA, and National Cancer Institute have all stated there is no evidence to support claims that COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer or increase the risk of developing it.
Malhotra was reportedly expected to claim during a speech at an event for Nigel Farage’s Reform Party that “We have several published mechanisms of how the mRNA vaccine can increase the risk of cancer confirmed by… Steven Hatfill.” He further mentioned his discussions with renowned oncologist Angus Dalgleish, who allegedly agrees that it’s likely members of the royal family have developed cancer due to the vaccine.
Malhotra’s assertions, however, have been met with skepticism, as he has a history of making claims not backed by scientific consensus. His upcoming speech at the Reform conference in Birmingham has raised eyebrows.
Farage, who has been a key figure in the Brexit movement, recently met with Donald Trump in the Oval Office, showcasing his ongoing political influence.
Interestingly, Malhotra suggested to the Daily Beast last month that RFK Jr. and the Trump administration could push for a ban on the COVID mRNA vaccine soon.
Both Malhotra and Hatfill have cited studies, including one from 2025 titled ‘COVID-19 mRNA-Induced “Turbo Cancers,”’ but experts argue these works lack the necessary population-level evidence to substantiate such claims.
It’s worth noting that Hatfill’s past support for hydroxychloroquine amid substantial contradictions from scientific research has also cast doubt on his credibility.
Dalgleish, an oncology expert, has claimed that mRNA boosters might accelerate cancer, but this position has been largely disputed within the medical community.
Malhotra has suggested that some within Trump’s circle share the belief that the vaccine may cause injuries, although none of these individuals hold any medical qualifications.
Following discussions around the vaccine’s market availability, the CDC experienced a wave of resignations linked to Kennedy’s policies. Publicly, Trump has called for drug companies to provide proof of their vaccines’ effectiveness.
In response to inquiries, Dalgleish mentioned: “[While] 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.”
Meanwhile, a White House spokesperson clarified that Malhotra does not represent the Administration’s views, urging for accurate coverage from the media on official representatives.
