Prior to his departure to Highgrove, King Charles was seen leaving Clarence House, waving to well-wishers.
On March 27, 2025, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles had been temporarily hospitalized due to side effects from ongoing cancer treatment.
His dedication to royal duties mirrors the legacy of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who remained committed to the monarchy until her last days.
King Charles embodies a generation of royals who prioritize national service over personal needs, reflecting the principles of Queen Elizabeth.
It is hoped that he will take time to rest at Highgrove, enjoying nature and recuperation as recommended by his wife and doctor.
A source described Camilla as the 'chief cheerleader' for King Charles during his treatment, highlighting the emotional toll of performing royal duties alone.
Prince Harry, who resides in the United States, has remained silent regarding his father's health.
During his hospitalization, royal family members, including Prince William, faced pressure to fulfill public roles.
Princess Anne was the first royal to visit her brother after his hospitalization, demonstrating their close bond, and later continued her royal duties by leading an investiture ceremony.
Queen Camilla expressed that her husband is a workaholic who often ignores her advice to slow down following his cancer diagnosis.
Speculation arises that Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, who is eager to take on more responsibilities, has not been assigned major engagements.
Royal experts express concern about King Charles' work ethic, suggesting he should prioritize his health and delegate more responsibilities to other royals.
