King Charles pays a surprise tribute to Jimmy Carter amidst former president’s death

Charles saddened by Carter’s passing

In a letter penned to President Joe Biden, King Charles III wrote of his “great sadness” over Carter’s death, making sure to highlight the former Commander-in-Chief’s strong record of public service and commitment to humanitarian causes.

Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, died Sunday at the age of 100 after years of ill health. Though Carter served just one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981, the Georgia-born Democrat left a legacy far beyond his political accomplishments; once his presidency ended, Carter devoted his time to the nonprofit Carter Center and achieving humanitarian objectives over his 40-plus years post-presidency.

Charles’ tribute comes amid his own battle with ill health that has sparked concern around the world over the stability of the British monarchy. The 76-year-old king has battled cancer throughout 2024, and he has tried to balance his royal duties with his treatment — to mixed reviews from the public. Charles’ daughter-in-law, Princess Kate, endured her own cancer battle this year and only recently resumed her royal responsibilities.
