Carlos III updates the protocols of his funeral, Operation ‘Menai Bridge’: “His situation is not good”

Carlos III, 75, is fighting a battle against cancer that was diagnosed in February after undergoing prostate surgery. Since then, the King of England, who is receiving treatment for his illness, has reduced his schedule to a minimum. Now we know that his deterioration is progressive: “His situation is not good,” he publishes The New York Post citing the The Daily Beast. “He is very ill,” headlines the American newspaper.

The monarch, who is fighting a brave battle against cancer at the same time as his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, 42, reviews and updates the protocols for his funeral, which are known as Operation Menai Bridge. In the wake of Operation London Bridge, which recorded all the logistics and organization of the funeral of Elizabeth II, Menai Bridge (the suspension bridge of Wales) gives its name to all the funeral events related to the death of the monarch.? These protocols establish what the official mourning and state funeral will be like. The King works on this operation with his team from Buckingham Palace.

One of the last images of Carlos III in an in-person event with the public takes us to the Easter mass, during Holy Week. The King reappeared on Sunday, March 31 for the first time since he announced that he suffers from cancer, on February 5. Walking alongside Queen Camilla, he greeted neighbors at the doors of St George’s Chapel in Windsor.

His entourage assures that “he is determined to defeat” his illness, The New York Post publishes. “Everyone is optimistic, but he feels really bad,” the newspaper details, again quoting The Daily Beast.
