Buckingham Palace has revealed astonishing new figures showing King Charles III has dramatically increased his official workload over the past year, despite undergoing treatment for cancer.
The monarch's commitment to his role has seen him carry out a remarkable 175% more engagements compared to the previous year, defying medical expectations and demonstrating what palace insiders are calling "extraordinary dedication" to his royal duties.
Palace Data Reveals Surprising Statistics
Official palace records indicate the King has maintained a rigorous schedule throughout his cancer treatment period. The data shows a significant uptick in both domestic and international engagements, with the monarch insisting on maintaining what one aide described as "business as usual" despite his health challenges.
Medical Team's Concerns
Sources close to the royal household suggest the King's medical team have expressed concerns about the pace he has maintained. However, the 75-year-old monarch has reportedly been determined to continue serving the nation, often working from his royal residences during treatment periods.
One senior palace official noted: "His Majesty's work ethic has been nothing short of remarkable. He views his role as a duty, not a job, and that perspective has driven him to maintain this extraordinary level of service."
Public Reaction and Royal Support
The revelation has sparked mixed reactions from royal commentators and the public alike. While many have praised the King's dedication, others have questioned whether such an intensive schedule is advisable during cancer treatment.
The Queen and other senior royals have reportedly been providing steadfast support, with the royal family adapting their own schedules to ensure the smooth continuation of royal duties during the King's treatment.
Palace representatives have emphasized that all medical advice is being followed and that the King's health remains the priority, even as he continues to fulfil his constitutional role with what appears to be renewed vigour.
