King Charles urged to step back from royal duties after hospitalization

King Charles has been urged to step back from royal duties after the cancer-stricken monarch was hospitalized for temporary side effects from his weekly treatment session.

While Buckingham Palace called the health scare a mere “bump in the road,” the ordeal still prompted Charles, 76, to cancel all of his royal engagements slated for the following day.

Now, royal authors and commentators are encouraging the ailing monarch to hit the brakes on his duties — something Queen Camilla previously admitted her husband simply refuses to do.

The trouble is, he’s been so conditioned to work that I don’t think he functions unless he’s working,” royal author Ingrid Seward told Newsweek.

“When he’s not working, he’s probably a bit all over the place, I know I’m like that. He’s always working and it’s just not his nature to take an afternoon nap, which I’m sure Camilla is trying to make him do.”
