Queen Camilla is supporting King Charles as he battles cancer.

As Charles focuses on his health, slight changes have been made to the protocol for royal gatherings.

"So yes, he's being seen in public as much as he possibly can, but there are slight amendments today," Bond noted. "There were about 50 people at the investiture. Normally there'd be 60 or 70."

"Perhaps it was sort of ten, 15 minutes, maybe half an hour shorter than usual. So the doctors I think are monitoring it closely and whispering in his ear, don't get too exhausted," she added.

Prior to his diagnosis, Charles was known for working long hours to focus on diplomacy and environmentalism.

"We know that Camilla is trying to hold him back a little bit, but we're told he's a bit like a caged lion," Bond stated. "He wants to get out there, he enjoys it. I mean, he really thoroughly seemed to be enjoying the investiture."

Charles ascended to the throne at 73 years old, and an insider believes he still has a lot more work left to do.

“He has been frustrated because there is still so much he wants to achieve,” a source said. "He holds himself to very high standards of public service and genuinely feels he’s letting people and organizations down if he’s not out there doing all those public bits of his formal role."

“He’s a bloody caged lion, driving everyone round the twist if he’s stuck at home," they added.

Despite Charles' vision for the monarchy, he is expected to prioritize his well-being.

“Some people might think he is trying to pedal twice as hard because he is conscious that time is running ahead of him, but he’s like that anyway," the aide continued. "His downtime away from public life has been used productively, enabling him to keep thinking about the things he wants to get on with."
