Prince Harry was already worried about King Charles in 2018, and Queen Camilla tried to get her husband to work less. His employees are also becoming more and more worried, an insider now claims.
After his planned prostate surgery on January 26, 2024, he has to King Charles, 75, is slowing down for now. The monarch will not attend any royal appointments for up to a month, Sky News recently reported. During his “recovery phase” he should be able to take care of government papers, Laura Bundock, royal correspondent for “Sky News”, claims to have found out. Even before his operation, Charles had to cancel appointments and his doctors had ordered him to rest.
An unusual time for the regent, who is considered to be a workaholic – so much so that his employees are now worried about him. An insider now claims this to the British newspaper “The Daily Telegraph”.
King Charles: “He needs to take it slower”
Alongside his sister Princess Anne, 73, King Charles is considered one of the hardest working royals in the British royal family. According to the Telegraph, he is said to undertake more than 500 royal engagements per year. His day begins before the traditional sound of the bagpipes, which his mother Queen Elizabeth, †96, loved so much and which accompanied her into eternal sleep at her funeral in 2022.
The well-paced working day often extends late into the night. It even went so far that King Charles would regularly fall asleep at his desk, as Prince Harry, 39, said in a documentary on his father’s 70th birthday in 2018. He remembered: “[Mein Vater] goes to his desk later in the evening and falls asleep over his notes, so that he wakes up with a piece of paper on his face.” Even then, the prince was worried about his father, saying: “He needs to take things slower.”
High workloads worry employees
Charles’s employees apparently feel the same way. “The people who work for him are worried that he’s doing too much for a man of 75,” a well-informed insider now tells the Telegraph, adding: “He’s sometimes difficult to keep up with hold.”
Queen Camilla, 76, has also tried to bring her husband to reason. In the BBC program “Prince, Son and Heir” the monarch said that she had tried to encourage Charles to moderate himself To pay attention to this. And so King Charles will probably increase his workload as soon as his health allows it to be as high as before his prostate operation.
