King Charles‘ nephew has spoken out about his uncle’s cancer battle in a candid interview with Sky News Australia. And it’s the most detailed insight a family member has given about the monarch’s health battle since his cancer diagnosis was revealed last month.
In the interview, which took place on March 24th, Peter Phillips, 46, explained that his uncle is “in good spirits” but is “hugely frustrated” that his cancer battle is slowing him down. We know that King Charles, 75, is an exceptionally hard worker, so we understand why he isn’t happy that he can’t do everything he wants to do!
King Charles Is Reportedly ‘Hugely Frustrated’ He Can’t ‘Get On And Do Everything’ He Wants To Do Amid Cancer Battle
“I think, ultimately, he’s hugely frustrated,” Phillips, who is the son of King Charles’ sister, Princess Anne, revealed in the interview.
‘He’s frustrated that he can’t get on and do everything that he wants to be able to do,” the father-of-two continued, adding: “But he’s very pragmatic. He understands that there’s a period of time that he really needs to focus on himself.”
Phillips was visiting Australia as a patron of the charity ISPS Handa, which supports disabled athletes; and he predicted that his uncle wants to get back to his royal duties as soon as possible!
King Charles Is Reportedly 'Very Keen' To Get Back To Normality
He added: "But, at the same time, he is always pushing his staff and everybody and his doctors and nurses, to be able to say, 'Actually, can I do this, can I do that?' I think the overriding message would be that he's obviously very keen to get back to a former normality and he's probably frustrated that recovery is taking a little longer than probably he would want it to."
When news of King Charles' cancer diagnosis broke, Buckingham Palace revealed in a statement that he had "been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties" while he undergoes treatment. However, the statement said that he "will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual."
