He’s frustrated that he can’t get on and do everything that he wants to be able to do,” said Phillips.
“But he is very pragmatic [and] he understands that there’s a period of time that he really needs to focus on himself.”
King Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February. The diagnosis was shared after Charles sought treatment for an enlarged prostate in January. Treatment has resulted in him withdrawing from public life, although he continues to perform some of his duties as normal, such as having regular meetings with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Last week, Kate Middleton shared the news that she’s also dealing with cancer. The two unexpected diseases have linked Charles and Kate, with the bonding over their circumstances and providing comfort to one another.
According to The Sun, the King reportedly traveled from London to Windsor to have lunch with Kate. “It is highly unusual for just the two of them to sit down together like this,” said the source. “The King had already been made aware that the woman he calls ‘my beloved daughter-in-law’ had cancer.”
