"While King Charles steps back from public royal duties amid his cancer treatment, Queen Camilla is keeping a busy schedule of outings."

"King Charles, 75, and Queen Camilla, 76, traveled from their country residence in Sandringham back to London on Tuesday. The King received cancer treatment in the city and undertook meetings with palace staff, while the Queen had a special event take place at Clarence House, the couple's longtime home in the capital."

"Queen Camilla was installed as an Honorary Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Fan Makers. During the ceremony, she was clothed in a robe by the Master Fan Maker and presented with a fan designed by Stewart Parvin M.V.O., commissioned in 2020 to mark the impact of COVID-19 on so many lives."

Buckingham Palace stated any books speculating about the King's diagnosis and treatment are "intrusive, insensitive and filled with inaccuracies".

"The Palace added that the Royal Family's legal team will be "looking at the issue closely". The books speculated about which type of cancer King Charles was diagnosed with, despite the King not stating publicly which type of cancer he has. A spokesman for Buckingham Palace urged any "organisations facilitating their sale to withdraw them immediately". Amazon confirmed it has removed the titles that "violated our content guidelines".
 
"It looks like Prince William is starting to run the show now that his father, King Charles, has been diagnosed with cancer, an insider revealed."

“He’s taken more control at the palace, staying in constant contact with Charles’ aides,” said the source. “He’s basically the Firm’s point man right now.”

"William, 41, and his aunt Princess Anne have added more engagements to their diaries that Charles, 75, is unable to attend."

"The dad-of-three “has tended toward less of the day-to-day routine work of the monarchy, compared to his father, instead focusing on bigger, glitzier engagements,” said royal historian Ed Owens. “But now he’ll be expected to fill in on many of these more mundane public outings.”

King Charles told Prince William to 'spend more time with family' in telling royal message


King Charles reportedly told Prince William to savor spending time with his wife and children because he will be spending 'years and years' fulfilling his royal duties.

And it may be that the Prince of Wales, 41, would have to take on the main duties earlier than expected if King Charles' health deteriorates. In which case, his father has reminded him of the importance of spending time with his family, according to author Ingrid Seward, who has written a book on the monarch's upbringing 'My Mother and I'.

"Charles always put duty first because that's what his mother did. And that's what [King Charles' first wife Princess] Diana decided she wouldn't do," Seward told HELLO! magazine.

I think Charles has encouraged William to spend more time with the family and also said to William, 'I don't want you to take on any royal duties until you absolutely have to', because you remember we criticized William the work-shy?

"When his wife Kate Middleton was forced to undergo surgery to her abdomen in January, William had to step in and make arrangements for the family. That meant canceling her duties and postponing his own commitments, as he looked after the couple's three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis."

"Kate has been recovering from the surgery and is not expected to return to royal duties until after Easter. It means William has been more busy than usual in taking care of their children, as well as ensuring his wife is as comfortable as possible. And it seems to have worked well as she joined the family for a trip to Norfolk during half-term week in February, with the Princess said to be making good progress in her recovery."

"His Majesty King Charles has been captured in a photograph during one of his increasingly uncommon appearances since his cancer diagnosis was revealed last month."

"The captured image, which surfaced in the Daily Mail on March 8, shows the 75-year-old monarch aboard a vehicle as he departs from Windsor Castle on the day."

"Reportedly, this particular encounter occurs just two days following the broadcast of news regarding the passing of King Charles’s friend and huntsman, Ian Farquhar, on the royal Highgrove estate, likely presaging the King’s attendance at Farquhar’s memorial service."

Thanks again for keeping us up to date with RF posts and pictures.
I have lived in Canada for over 60 years but I grew up with them in my life
so a big part of me is still very British as far as the Royals are concerned.
Wishing them all the best throughout this very trying time .

"King Charles’ spokesperson expressed the monarch’s pride for his daughter-in-law Kate Middleton after she revealed her cancer diagnosis last night."

Buckingham Palace said the King is “so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did”.

"The pair have 'remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks' after they spent time in hospital together, according to the spokesperson."

"They added that Charles and his wife, Camilla, 'will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time'."

"In a video statement released on Friday, Princess of Wales announced she was diagnosed with cancer after a planned abdominal surgery in January."

She said she is now undergoing preventative chemotherapy.

The news comes a few weeks after the monarch revealed he was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year following a separate procedure for a benign prostate enlargement.
 
King Charles pledges to serve the nation with 'my whole heart' in moving Easter message

"King Charles has said he is continuing to serve the nation "with my whole heart" in a moving Easter message broadcast at the Royal Maundy service this morning."

"The monarch, who has been undergoing cancer treatment since February, talked of his "special prayer" this Easter and expressed his "great sadness" of being unable to attend the staple royal event. His wife Queen Camilla is leading the service on his behalf."

"The Maundy service has a very special place in my heart," he said, after a Bible reading recounting Jesus washing his disciples' feet. He said the verse, from the Gospel according to St John, "has its origin in the life of our Lord, who knelt before his disciples, and to their great surprise, washed their trouble-weary feet". Charles, 75, said that in doing so, Jesus set "an example of how we should serve and care for each other" - and how as a nation "we need and benefit greatly from those who extend the hand of friendship to us, especially in a time of need".

"The 75-year-old, who acceded to the throne just 18 months ago, said the act of worship reminded him of the pledge he made at the start of his Coronation service to follow Christ's example - "not to be served, but to serve". Charles said: "That I have always tried to do and continue to do with my whole heart. It is my special prayer today that our Lord's example of serving one another might continue to inspire us and to strengthen all our communities."

He added: "May God bless you all this Easter."
