Prince William, the eldest son of King Charles, has expressed worries about his father’s hectic schedule.
The Times reported that William is fretting over King Charles’ workaholic tendencies, especially as the 75-year-old monarch undergoes cancer treatment.
King Charles recently resumed public engagements, marking his first appearances since his February diagnosis.
Sources close to Prince William revealed his concerns about his father’s well-being.
While William understands King Charles’ passion for his duties, he is keen on ensuring a balance between the monarch’s recovery and responsibilities.
Queen Camilla, too, has been vocal about her desire for the king to ease back on his duties, emphasizing the importance of his health.
On April 30th, King Charles visited the Macmillan Cancer Center at a university college hospital, where he engaged with patients and staff to discuss cancer treatment.
Queen Camilla accompanied him, showing support during the visit.
The royal couple appeared cheerful as they arrived, aiming to raise awareness about early cancer treatment and cutting-edge research funded by Cancer Research UK.
Aside from his hospital visit, King Charles also became a patron of Cancer Research UK on Tuesday.
This move follows a review of over 1,000 patronages and charity presidencies, with the results set to be shared with relevant organizations in the coming week.
The king and queen are expected to assume many patronages previously held by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Rumors circulating about Prince Harry rejecting a lavish birthday gift for his son, Archie, from King Charles have been refuted.
Allegations suggested that Harry opposed a proposed playhouse gift for Archie’s fifth birthday, favoring American traditions over extravagant presents.
However, sources close to the Sussexes dismissed these claims, emphasizing Meghan Markle’s wish for Archie to embrace his American heritage.
Tom Quinn, a royal family author, mentioned King Charles’ intention to gift Archie a shepherd’s hut-style playhouse, similar to one previously given to Prince George.
The king’s gesture aimed to treat all his grandchildren equally.
Despite Charles’ thoughtful gesture, Meghan’s concerns about Archie’s interest in his royal connections led to the rejection of the gift idea.
King Charles, aware of Meghan and Harry’s reservations, acknowledged the importance of respecting their wishes regarding Archie’s upbringing.
As Archie celebrates his fifth birthday amidst tensions within the royal family, efforts are being made to ensure meaningful interactions between the young prince and his grandfather.
Charles remains eager to bridge any gaps and foster a positive relationship with his grandson, despite the challenges faced by the family.
