King Charles, 75, is eager to resume his duties following his recent cancer diagnosis, as per his nephew's update. Peter Phillips, 46, mentioned in an interview that the monarch is in good spirits but frustrated by his current limitations. Despite his frustration, King Charles is pragmatic and understands the need to focus on his recovery. He is actively involved in his care, constantly inquiring about what activities he can engage in.
The King's cancer diagnosis was disclosed by Buckingham Palace on Feb. 5 after he received treatment for an enlarged prostate. The specific type of cancer has not been revealed. Despite this health setback, King Charles and Queen Camilla are reportedly considering a visit to Australia later this year.
Phillips expressed that the royal couple aims to connect with a diverse range of people during their potential visit. They are keen on engaging with individuals from various backgrounds and being accessible to as many as possible.
It was noted that the interview with Phillips occurred before Kate Middleton's announcement of her own cancer diagnosis. The Princess of Wales, 42, revealed that she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy following tests that detected the presence of cancer after her recent abdominal surgery in January.
