Prince William has reportedly expressed “worry” over King Charles’s hectic work schedule, although is understanding that his father “loves to work”. King Charles has sparked “worry” from his eldest son, Prince William, over his hectic working schedule.
According to The Times, William is understood to “fret about his ‘workaholic’ father’s pace” – eespecially as the 75-year-old is currently undergoing cancer treatment. The King made a return to public-facing duties earlier this week, his first public engagement since before his diagnosis at the start of February. King Charles is said to have been continuing work behind-the-scenes, but had only just been given the all-clear to return to duties publicly.
A source close to William said: “[William] wants to make sure his father is balancing his recovery. “He knows his dad loves work, but he does worry about him.” Queen Camilla – who stepped out alongside her husband on Tuesday – has also recently expressed her wishes for the monarch to “hold back” on duties.
At a Palace reception earlier this week, the 76-year-old said that the King was “really thrilled” to be returning to public duties, but also admitted that she was trying to “hold him back”. On April 30, the King visited the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre, where they met patients and staff. Queen Camilla also supported him on the visit, with the pair pictured in high spirits as they arrived at the centre. It was reported that the King was hoping that his visit will raise awareness of the importance of early diagnosis.
He also wishes that it will highlight some of the innovative research, supported by Cancer Research UK, which is taking place at the hospital. As well as visiting the centre, the King also became patron for Cancer Research UK on Tuesday. The King and Queen will also take on the majority of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s patronages.
It has been revealed that a major review of more than 1,000 patronages and charity presidencies has finally been conducted. The outcome of the review, announced to coincide with the one year anniversary of the Coronation on Monday, will be shared with relevant organisations in the coming week.
