On Tuesday, the British monarch, King Charles (75), was back at work for the first time since he was diagnosed with cancer at the start of the year.
The first stop was a visit to a cancer treatment center in London.
She gets zero
According to a statement from Buckingham Palace, the king’s physician believes that he sees good results from the cancer treatment, but that it is still too early to say how long the king will need the treatment. The plan is for him to gradually return to his royal duties.
It is not known what type of cancer the 75-year-old is suffering from.
However, the British royal house expert Robert Hardman believes that the king’s attire during the official mission on Tuesday is a hint of good news.
Coming up with an update on Kate
Charles had chosen a pink silk tie with dinosaurs on it for the occasion.
– Then you know that he walks with light steps, he writes in an article in the Daily Mail, reproduced by Expressen.
He probably got the tie as a Christmas present from his grandson Prince Louis (6) in 2022, according to Hardman. It must have quickly become a favorite which he has used on a number of occasions in the past.
Asking for information after gruesome scenes
“The tie says it all. It has become a favorite of his since he became king, appearing on tours, at receptions at the castle and even in church. Featuring a pattern of blue dinosaurs on a pink background, it’s a slight pun on the official ‘Charles II Rex’ monogram. Employees at the court know that when ‘C-Rex’ is wearing the ‘T-Rex’ tie, he is likely to be in good spirits,” writes Hardman.
Se og Hør’s royal house expert Caroline Vagle also learned that the monarch was back at work again on Tuesday.
– King Charles looks really happy to be out at work again. And it probably meant a lot to him to meet people who are in the same situation, Vagle told Dagbladet after the king’s performance.
– Looks distressed
– But I think the king looks somewhat affected. This can be due to both the disease and the treatment. We don’t actually know how sick he is, or what type of cancer he has. Once again, it turns out that a lack of information leads to speculation. I’ve seen quite a bit of that lately.
She was nevertheless clear that lessons must be learned from, for example, the situation surrounding Princess Kate (42) from earlier this year.
– People are understandably worried. But by all means remember the situation around Kate. You mustn’t let the rumors get the better of you!
