Nonetheless, royal knowledgeable Katie Nicholl is hitting again in opposition to these reviews. “There have been claims in some media shops that the king just isn’t doing nicely in his most cancers battle. I believe the bulletins out of the palace and… the king’s imminent return to public duties ought to cease such nonsense in it’s observe, fairly frankly,” Nicholl advised Leisure Tonight.
Nicholl’s remark got here shortly after Buckingham Palace introduced the king’s plan to ease again into his public-facing royal duties “after a interval of therapy and recuperation following his current most cancers prognosis.” The palace shared the information on social media, alongside a brand new portrait of King Charles and his spouse, Queen Camilla. Within the caption of the submit, the palace famous that the King will mark his return to public engagements with a go to to a most cancers therapy heart on April 30, 2024, the place he will likely be joined by Queen Camilla. In accordance with Nicholl, this return to public-facing duties indicators that King Charles’ well being has improved.
