King Charles recently landed in hospital thanks to some “temporary side effects” from his ongoing cancer treatment, but before anyone could even fluff his pillows, he was discharged from The London Clinic and back on the grind.
Yep, the King was out the same day and, apparently, decided that rest is for peasants.
Rather than taking it as a massive flashing neon sign to slow down, Charles reportedly jumped straight back into royal duties like the crown’s on fire. It’s become clear that the man’s idea of “taking it easy” probably involves replying to state documents while hooked up to a drip.
As expected, those in his inner circle aren’t thrilled with his zero-chill approach. It’s giving concerned but powerless entourage vibes, which tracks with what an insider told GB News back in November 2024. Queen Camilla, ever the voice of reason (and possibly the only one who can make him drink water), was seriously rattled by her husband’s hustle.
“She is understandably fearful her husband is rushing it. She just wants him to slow down and prioritize his health.”
Imagine trying to get your 76-year-old royal spouse to relax, and he’s like, “Nah babe, I’ve got eight boring luncheons and a ceremonial handshake marathon.”
When he was discharged earlier this month, Charles did listen to the doctors – for like, a second – postponing his next-day events. But then, just like that, the calendar was back in full royal swing the day after. Legendary.
Royal author Ingrid Seward gave us the lowdown in a recent Newsweek chat, and honestly, it sounds like Charles is allergic to downtime:
“The trouble is, he’s been so conditioned to work that I don’t think he functions unless he’s working.”
Relatable… but maybe not ideal when your body’s waving red flags.
“When he’s not working, he’s probably a bit all over the place, I know I’m like that,” she added.
“He’s always working and it’s just not his nature to take an afternoon nap, which I’m sure Camilla is trying to make him do.”
Camilla trying to enforce nap time is peak royal comedy. Picture her sneaking melatonin into his tea.
Seward also pointed out that the King is bogged down with the most soul-sapping parts of royal life. You know, all those stiff, ceremonial handshakes with ambassadors who just want to wrap things up and hit the pub.
“Cancer treatment makes you very, very tired. The trouble is it’s his duty as monarch to do these stifling boring handshakes with incoming and outgoing ambassadors.”
She practically begged the man to delegate, which… is what heirs are for, right?
“How boring must that be, and I would think that’s very exhausting, but the only way he could slow down is if someone took over some of his official roles as monarch. If someone could take some of that away from him, I think his life would be easier.”
In other words, it’s high time to tag in Prince William, Your Majesty. Or, at the very least, let someone else handle the handshake circuit while you binge-watch The Crown in ironic peace.
