Despite being diagnosed with cancer last month, King Charles is reportedly keen to return to his royal duties and is exerting pressure on his staff to facilitate this, going against medical advice cautioning restraint.
In a recent interview, Peter Phillips, Princess Anne's son, provided an illuminating update on King Charles's recovery journey. While the monarch remains in "good spirits," Phillips disclosed that the recovery process is progressing "a bit slower" than initially hoped.
Phillips, who is currently in Australia supporting the charity ISPS Handa, painted a picture of King Charles's frustration. "He's eager to accomplish more than his current limitations allow," Phillips remarked. Despite this impatience, Phillips emphasized the King's "pragmatic" mindset, recognizing the necessity of prioritizing his health and well-being.
During his Australian visit, Phillips observed King Charles's determination to push boundaries and resume more of his royal duties. "He's consistently inquiring with his medical team and staff about what tasks he can undertake," Phillips added.
Shifting focus, Phillips also lauded the resilience of the Princess of Wales amid her health challenges, noting the commendable balance she and Prince William have struck between their public responsibilities and family life.
In a reassuring update, Queen Camilla has previously informed well-wishers that King Charles "is doing very well."
Furthermore, it was revealed that a private lunch between King Charles and the Princess of Wales at Windsor Castle left the monarch "feeling very emotional." This heartfelt interaction took place a day before the Princess publicly disclosed her cancer diagnosis.
