The 75-year-old monarch received treatment at a London hospital on Tuesday, just a day before delivering a historic D-Day speech. Despite his health challenges, he was determined to stand alongside veterans and "lead from the front."
Having been given the green light by his medical team to resume public engagements in April, King Charles traveled to Portsmouth the following day to deliver an eight-minute speech, marking the occasion.
While his dedication to duty is admired by many, concerns have been raised by Queen Camilla and health specialists who advocate for his full recovery and proper rest.
Reports indicate that the King's appearance at the milestone D-Day commemoration in Normandy was carefully managed, with his speech shortened by 45 minutes on medical advice. Despite this, his poignant address praised D-Day veterans and Second World War participants for their unwavering courage.
Queen Camilla was visibly moved by her husband's speech, and the royal couple later engaged with invited D-Day heroes, with King Charles reassuring them of his well-being.
Due to his health condition, compromises were made, with Prince William stepping in for his father during some engagements. However, King Charles remained determined to fulfill his duties, including attending his Birthday Parade, Trooping the Colour.
Meanwhile, Princess Kate, also battling cancer, was unable to attend a recent royal event as Colonel of the Irish Guards. Her appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping the Colour seems unlikely as she continues her treatment.
