King Charles stepping back from royal duties in the run up to the general election will do wonders for his health and cancer recovery, one royal expert has claimed.
The monarch revealed earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with cancer. He hasn’t revealed the type of cancer he has. However, he recently returned to public-facing duties – something Queen Camilla shared her fears over.
Now, however, with the general election looming, the royals have said they will postpone all engagements that could distract from campaigning.
And, as a result, royal expert Jennie Bond reckons six weeks off will do Charles the world of good.

King Charles health woes: ‘Trying to do too much’
Speaking to OK!, Jennie said that the timing of the election will be a good thing for Charles. It comes as he continues his cancer recovery.
After the election was called, Buckingham Palace released a statement. It said the family were postponing any royal engagements that might detract from campaigning.
As a result, Charles will enjoy something of a rest in the coming weeks.
And this is something that Jennie Bond thinks is well needed. She cited the “danger” the King has put himself in by trying to do too much too soon.
‘Beneficial Charles has been brought to a halt’
She said: “We know that he’s annoyed that his own reign has been obstructed by his prostate and cancer problems. Now he has been stopped again by the general election campaign. Personally, though, I think it will be beneficial in the long run that Charles – and indeed William – have been brought to a halt by the protocol of an election campaign.
“As Camilla herself said, the King has been constantly in danger of trying to do too much too early in his recovery. And these six weeks of enforced rest will give him the time he surely needs to gather his strength and make a full recovery before getting back to full-time duties.”
