Buckingham Palace Has Finally Confirmed King Health Fears That Reduced William To Tears

According to a source, royal insiders confirm that the King is eager to meet Carney during his upcoming visit to the UK. It stated that the monarch is “determined” to hold the meeting despite both leaders’ packed schedules. In addition to the planned meeting, reports suggest that the King has privately written to Carney to congratulate him on his new role.

King Charles and Prince William have seen much upheaval in recent years since the death of the late Queen. Both have had their royal roles changed dramatically, with Charles ascending to the throne and William becoming the Prince of Wales.

When William was bestowed with his new title, it also came with the title of Duke of Cornwall and responsibility for overseeing the vast Duchy of Cornwall estate. It was previously run by Charles for more than 50 years when he was Prince of Wales, and he took great interest in its success.

The King is understood to have written privately to the pontiff after he fell ill in February. He has spent the past month in hospital recovering from pneumonia and was pictured in the hospital’s chapel on Sunday.

A palace source recently confirmed that the King and Queen’s state visits to the Holy See and Italy are set to take place as planned, subject to Pope Francis’s health.

Charles and Camilla, who will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in Italy on April 9th, will visit the Vatican, Rome, and Rena during the 4-day visit from April 7 to 10.

The King is reportedly exploring alternative treatments, including medical cannabis, as he continues his battle with cancer. Despite his optimism, the King reportedly acknowledges his condition’s severity, with the source revealing Charles wants to make it until at least his 77th birthday but knows he may not, as he is now in so much pain.

Buckingham Palace insiders claim the 75-year-old monarch is open to unconventional approaches alongside traditional treatment. Now, Charles is experimenting with medical cannabis due to its potential to relieve pain and even combat cancer cells. He is trying every cure in the book—and now some which aren’t.

The cancer diagnosis has rocked him to the core, and he feels there’s no harm in trying something experimental. The source noted that Charles has long supported homeopathic medicine and sees no risk in giving cannabis treatment a chance. He’s read all the studies around its benefits and is giving it a go.

Royal author Tom Quinn claimed Prince William shares one character flaw with King Charles: both men are prone to tantrums. He writes, “It is typically up to William’s wife to corral her husband. She has a particular insight into how to get the best out of her husband of 13 years,” explained a former palace employee to Quinn.

“I don’t know where William would be without Catherine. She hasn’t had everything done for her throughout her life, so she calms him down when he gets a bit fractious. She said he sometimes has to be treated as her fourth child.”

This character trait thus mirrors the behavior of William’s father, King Charles, as seen by Kensington Palace staffers. Things are not done to their liking, and they tend to get irritated very quickly.

The monarch famously threw a tantrum shortly after becoming king in September 2022. Charles signed a visitor’s book at Hillsborough Castle near Belfast as cameras captured his every move. He reacted angrily after the pen he was using leaked on him.

“Oh God, I hate this. I can’t bear this bloody thing every stinking time,” Charles said as he walked away. “It comes naturally to them.”

Camilla’s title was changed to Queen after King Charles’s May 2023 coronation. Royal protocol meant suits must be pressed and laid out after a period of consultation the night before. Shoes must be polished, and ties chosen ahead of time as well. Baths are also reportedly run at precisely the same time each day.

Just minutes ago, the palace arranged a crucial meeting between King Charles III and Canada’s newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney amid ongoing tensions between Canada and the United States. According to a source, royal insiders confirm that the King is eager to meet Carney during his upcoming visit to the UK.

It was stated that the monarch is determined to hold the meeting despite both leaders’ packed schedules. In addition to the planned meeting, reports suggest that the King has privately written to Carney to congratulate him on his new role. The two sides are actively exploring ways to facilitate the meeting, which could have significant diplomatic implications.

Meanwhile, Queen Camilla has reportedly adopted a firm stance of silence on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, choosing not to engage in discussions about the couple amid their tense relationship.

Far more thought and hiatus is stirred up in the media around what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are or aren’t doing on any given day than was ever a fixation at the palace. The source added that the topic is almost never discussed at the palace.

Notably, the source disclosed the Queen’s stance after the Duke of Sussex made big claims against his stepmother and labeled her as dangerous in his memoir Spare.
