King Charles’ close friend Jonathan Dimbleby has addressed his brother Nicholas’ “death sentence” after he was diagnosed with MND in February.<\/p>\n

\u201cA couple of months before the diagnosis, Nick and his wife Kay came to lunch,\u201d Jonathan told Radio Times in a new interview.<\/p>\n

The historian continued: \u201cNick wasn\u2019t quite his normal self \u2013 he had a little difficulty eating. Afterwards, my wife Jessica and I both said, \u2018I hope Nick\u2019s all right.\u2019”<\/p>\n
