At the beginning of 2010, Cornielje was diagnosed with a malignant tumor, requiring him to resign. But he returned to work after several months. He was diagnosed with cancer again in May 2015. In April 2017, a brain tumor was discovered.
On 11 April 2018, Cornielje announced his intention to resign as King's Commissioner on 1 February 2019.[3] He justified this not because of his illness, but because it is time for his successor. By announcing his departure early, according to him, there will be enough space to find his successor in time. He told his political party that he wanted to be a member of the Dutch Senate.[4]
On 2 August 2018, it was announced that Cornielje had temporarily resigned from his duties as King's commissioner because of meningitis.[5] He came back to his duties, and bid farewell to the position on 23 January 2019.[6] He was officially replaced by John Berends on 6 February 2019.[7]
Clemens Cornielje was one of three openly gay politicians who served as King's Commissioner, the other two are Jan Franssen and Arno Brok. He was in a relationship with his partner Bertil Niehoff.[8] He died in Arnhem in March 2022.
