After his visit to London for cancer treatment, King Charles has returned to the royal estate of Sandringham. Unfortunately, his doting wife Queen Camilla couldn’t accompany him as she had public duties to attend to. Despite his shocking diagnosis, the 75-year-old monarch has remained stoic and brave.
Dressed in a smart suit and tie, King Charles waved to well-wishers outside Buckingham Palace and along the Mall as he began his journey back to Sandringham. The king prefers Sandringham for its privacy and solace. He enjoys having his breakfast tea and afternoon tea against the beautiful backdrop of his gardens, even when the house is open.
This is King Charles’ second course of treatment, and more treatment is expected later this month. He has postponed all public duties but will continue with his stately responsibilities, including weekly meetings with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The Royal Family aims to convey a sense of normalcy and positivity during this challenging time.
However, it can’t be easy for the king to make the long journey to Sandringham without the support of his wife. Facing cancer is difficult enough, and anyone who has watched a loved one battle the disease can sympathize with the challenges faced by King Charles.
The diagnosis comes at a difficult time for the royal family. Kate Middleton’s recent health issues and the strained relationships within the family, especially between Prince Harry and the rest of the members, have added to the already heavy workload of Prince William.
Queen Camilla, though committed to being there for her husband through thick and thin, also has her own royal duties that require her absence at times. However, she has expressed that King Charles is doing well under the circumstances and has been touched by the overwhelming support from the public.
We all wish King Charles a speedy recovery and hope for his well-being.
