King Charles III, the former Prince of Wales, became king upon his mother's death. Queen Elizabeth II, England's longest-reigning monarch, died in 2022. She was 96.
King Charles III isn’t letting cancer get in the way of his reign. Over the weekend, his wife, Queen Camilla, revealed that the British monarch is 'doing fine, except he won’t slow down and won’t do what he’s told,' as quoted by Sky News. The 75-year-old has been undergoing outpatient treatment since Buckingham Palace announced his diagnosis in February. Several royal experts told Fox News Digital they weren’t surprised by Camilla’s revelation.
Given he had the longest wait in history as heir to the throne, given his age, as well as his current health crisis, he is poignantly aware that time is ticking,' said British royals expert Hilary Fordwich. 'He has been preparing for this role his entire life, being in line for the throne for 70 years,' Fordwich explained. 'After waiting for so long, he has thrown himself into the job. He wants to make his mark.
The National Health Service in England said the number of people seeking advice about prostate problems increased 11-fold in the weeks after Charles announced he was undergoing treatment. Ahead of this weekend's Trooping the Colour, the annual celebration of the British monarch's birthday, the king presented the Irish Guards with the regiment’s new flag, or 'colours,' at Windsor Castle on Monday. The palace confirmed Charles will attend Trooping the Colour amid his diagnosis.
He’s a workaholic who skips lunch,' said royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams. 'His doctors will control a good deal of his itinerary as it has to be announced in advance, but he is clearly recovering judging by the number of engagements he is undertaking and the energy he has shown during them. The late Queen Elizabeth II said, ‘I must be seen to be believed,’ and as monarch, he knows it’s his duty to be seen. That is one of the factors driving him.
