King's Goddaughter India Hicks Battles Skin Cancer
3 Dec, 2025
Summary
- India Hicks revealed a recent skin cancer diagnosis.
- She underwent surgery for 'fast-moving' cancer on her calf.
- The procedure was a successful Mohs surgery with clear margins.
India Hicks, goddaughter to King Charles, has revealed she recently underwent surgery for a fast-moving skin cancer on her lower calf. The 58-year-old designer described the diagnosis as unsettling, with test results indicating a rapidly developing patch of cancer.
Following the diagnosis last month, Hicks sought out a specialist in Miami for an urgent Mohs procedure, a precise surgical technique for skin cancer removal. This involved layers of tissue being removed and immediately examined until clear margins were achieved. After an anxious wait, she received the all-clear.
Hicks, who also served as a bridesmaid at Prince Charles and Princess Diana's wedding in 1981, expressed relief at the successful outcome. This marked her second recent operation, but she was able to celebrate the start of the holiday season with friends and family, including Thanksgiving.
