King Charles has reportedly left Queen Camilla worried alongside his doctors with his rigorous determination to public duties.
Speaking to the Daily Beast, a pal of the Queen Consort revealed she is “trying to encourage him to slow down” over fears the continuous “cracking on” could set the King back.
It comes following a recent report from the Daily Mail, in which editors claimed Camilla has taken to making discreet notes in his briefings including, “Softly, softly catches the monkey” and “Prudens qui patiens.” The Latin saying means, “The prudent man is patient.”
They also relayed concerns of Charles’ medical team “about his determination to take on so many external engagements.”
A friend of the royal family added to the Daily Beast: “It’s a worry for everyone, because he has made no secret of the fact that he still has cancer and is still getting treated for it, but I think he wants to raise awareness of the reality that cancer is something that a lot of people live with and make the best of.”
Camilla’s pal also expressed skepticism over his upcoming trip to Australia and Samoa for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting later this year.
They noted: “I do wonder if Camilla will support him going to Australia. She is not the type to put her foot down, but she might say, ‘Come on now, darling, is this really sensible?’”
