King Charles remains steadfast in his commitment to royal duties despite medical concerns and repeated pleas from Queen Camilla to ease his workload.
Sources claim that Camilla has been "begging" the monarch to take it easy following his recent hospitalization, but Charles is reportedly unwilling to step back, with insiders telling Hello Magazine that he "won't slow down and won't do what he's told."
Medical experts have cautioned that overworking could negatively affect his recovery. Longevity specialist Dr. Mohammed Enayat warned that societal expectations often push public figures into workaholic tendencies, making it difficult for them to prioritize rest even when facing serious health issues.
“Research has shown that those who struggle to detach from work experience higher levels of anxiety and sleep disturbances, both of which can negatively impact long-term health,” he explained.
Recovery coach Elizabeth Walker echoed similar concerns, stating that many high achievers use overworking as a means of proving their worth, rather than pure ambition.
Despite his health challenges, King Charles continues to maintain a packed schedule. Buckingham Palace recently provided an update, confirming that after a "restful" weekend at Highgrove, the King has resumed his duties at Windsor Castle, preparing for a full week of public and private engagements.
Royal experts noted that while there have been minor adjustments to his schedule, Charles remains focused on his responsibilities, including his upcoming state visit to Italy. His determination to carry on, even after experiencing side effects from his cancer treatment, highlights his unwavering commitment to his role—but also raises concerns about the toll it may take on his health.
