Camilla advises her husband Charles III to “slow down”: the 'workaholic' king with more than 500 events a year

Health is first. Camilla, 76, is very clear about it. The queen, the person closest to Charles III, remains with the monarch in his private residence in Birkhall, in Aberdeenshire (north of Scotland), in these days prior to his hospital admission to undergo prostate surgery. The sovereign, 75 years old, known as the king workaholic By some means, he presided over more than 500 agenda events in 2023, according to publications Daily Mail. Of these engagements, 94 were abroad.

The King has to focus on his health, on his treatment, which begins this week, and on his subsequent recovery. A stage that will force you to lift your foot off the accelerator pedal at work. Camilla herself, spontaneously becoming her spokesperson, slipped a few days ago that her husband “is fine”. Charles III is resting and has cleared his agenda due to medical prescription since last Thursday, a reason that precipitated Buckingham's announcement of his state of health.

In fact, so aware is the queen that the monarch must reduce the intensity and stress of work that she would have suggested that “slow down the pace”, as detailed The Sun. After the prostate surgery, the King will have to focus his efforts on convalescence and recovery, a process that could last for a month, as it progresses Daily Mail. This would take us to mid-February, the month in which some Spanish media indicated that the State visit to Spain of the King of England and his wife would take place.

While the Windsors are awaiting the sovereign's admission, Kate Middleton remains hospitalized at The London Clinic in the capital since last Tuesday. The Princess of Wales, 42, underwent abdominal surgery and the only thing that has emerged through official channels is that her intervention is not related to any cancerous process. A prolonged hospitalization that has awakened rumorology about his status.

The way Buckingham has approached communications about Charles' illness may prompt some openness in the palace's so-called culture of silence. At the wish of the sovereign himself, the Royal House will report on its evolution with the aim of raising awareness among the male population to undergo the appropriate check-ups to prevent prostate diseases.
