Ebooks concerning the King’s alleged cancers, suspected to be generated by artificial intelligence, have sparked criticism from Buckingham Palace. The palace has expressed concerns over rumors circulating about misleading representations of Charles’ health condition in certain Amazon books. Despite the King not publicly disclosing the specific cancer type he is battling, he recently acknowledged the public’s support in his first official statement on the matter.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson, speaking to the Mail on Sunday, denounced the speculative and erroneous nature of these titles, labeling them as aggressive and insensitive. The legal team is actively investigating the situation and has urged the immediate removal of any content contributing to the dissemination of these books.
Reportedly, Amazon has removed several books that inaccurately portrayed Charles’ health status during his cancer treatment. These publications, allegedly authored by AI systems, were previously listed among the top-selling authentic royal biographies on the platform.
Shortly after confirming his cancer diagnosis, King Charles and Queen Camilla departed from Clarence House. The King, having assumed the throne just over a year ago, revealed his undisclosed cancer diagnosis and the ongoing treatment regimen. In his initial public address post-diagnosis, Charles expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support and well-wishes from the public. He also highlighted the positive impact of sharing his medical journey on enhancing public awareness of cancer, as conveyed by Buckingham Palace.
Amazon emphasized its commitment to upholding content standards and ensuring compliance with material guidelines. The company clarified its stance against AI-generated content and affirmed the removal of titles found to violate their regulations.
For further updates, inquiries have been made to both Buckingham Palace and Amazon by The Independent.
