The English Prime Minister's visit was relaxed and short-term according to medical recommendations
Although Carlos III has continued with his responsibilities since he was diagnosed with cancer, he had not participated in any official appointment in person until now. His meeting at Buckingham Palace with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Wednesday marked his first face-to-face appearance since beginning treatment.
The English monarch appeared relaxed, with a smile and his characteristic affability in the meeting with the prime minister, who commented on his good appearance. With his typical British phlegm, Charles III replied: "It's just a mirror trick, really." Although they have held weekly telephone meetings, they had not seen each other since before the announcement of his illness, as he noted when greeting Sunak: "It's been a while, I'm afraid."
During this period, the country watched with anticipation as the royal family reorganized to cope with the absence of two of its most prominent members: the King and Princess of Wales. Meanwhile, citizens expressed their support for the King by sending him letters and messages of encouragement, which he himself acknowledged to the prime minister: "They made me cry."
His wife, Queen Camilla, had also mentioned how touching she found the public's displays of affection after learning of her husband's illness during her first public event. The palace explained that his schedule is subject to medical recommendations, but King Charles intends to resume his commitments as soon as possible. Critical Voices Report.
His visit to Buckingham, the institutional seat of the monarchy and his workplace, demonstrates his disposition and conveys a reassuring message. In addition, he took advantage of the trip to meet with members of the privy council on Tuesday afternoon.
