Friends of the UK monarch say that the letters reveal his “somewhat battered health” but also a “determination” to beat the condition. A friend of the King said: “I hear determination that he doesn’t want to let it slow him down, a pragmatic acceptance of the changes that have had to be made to his programme, and an absolute desire to get back to full speed,” reports The Times today, Saturday, May 4.

A source also says that the King is chomping at the bit to get back to full throttle. They said he has been “frustrated” with another friend saying “he’s a b****y caged lion”. The royal calendar is filling up – with the monarch reportedly wanting to travel to Normandy on June 6 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. But Prince William is understood to fret about his “workaholic” father’s pace. A source close to the prince said: “He wants to make sure his father is balancing his recovery. He knows his dad loves work, but he does worry about him,” reports The Times.

King Charles was “thrilled” to return to public-facing duties, the Queen revealed last week and added that she’s “been trying to hold him back” during his cancer treatment. Camilla, 76, made the comments as she welcomed 300 guests to Buckingham Palace on Wednesday afternoon to recognise those who support survivors of sexual assault. Guests included Carrie Johnson, Zara McDermott, Cherie Blair and Theresa May. Next week it’s been reported that Prince Harry will be paying his father a visit when he touches down in the UK to attend a ceremony on Wednesday, May 8, at St Paul’s Cathedral marking the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
