In a surprising move, King Charles has decided to pause his cancer treatment for 11 days to embark on a royal tour of Australia.
This ambitious trip has raised eyebrows and worries, particularly for Queen Camilla, who is understandably anxious about her husband’s health.
The royal couple’s inner circle has revealed that while the tour is significant, it comes with its own set of challenges and concerns.
A source close to Queen Camilla shared that she feels relieved that the King will not be heading straight to the annual COP conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, upon his return from Australia.
“She wants him to slow down,” the insider noted, reflecting her apprehension about his relentless work ethic.
The Queen is particularly worried that King Charles is overexerting himself, especially given the demands of the upcoming Australia tour.
Reports indicate that Queen Camilla was not overly enthusiastic about the Australian trip in the first place.
She has been vocal about her desire for the King to take things easy once he returns.
However, convincing him to do so may prove to be a daunting task, as King Charles is known for his strong commitment to his royal duties.
Despite the positive narratives surrounding the King’s health and his return to public life, insiders remind us that he is still battling cancer.
A friend of the Queen remarked that while there has been a lot of talk about the King doing well, the reality is that he is still unwell.
Camilla has been urging him to take a break, but he often brushes off her concerns, driven by a workaholic mentality.
Since receiving his cancer diagnosis in February, King Charles has been undergoing treatment consistently.
According to the Daily Mail, he is expected to continue his treatment right up until he departs for Australia.
Fortunately, his medical team has agreed to a temporary halt in his treatment during the trip, which they deem manageable.
Once the King returns to the UK, he will resume his treatment regimen without delay.
This decision to take a break from his medical routine, albeit brief, highlights the delicate balance he is trying to maintain between his royal responsibilities and his health.
Queen Camilla’s concern for her husband is palpable.
