King Charles' transparency reflects his 'style' as a monarch

Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Tuesday, former royal press secretary Simon Lewis said that Charles’ openness about his health reflects his "style" as a monarch.

"I think it's actually been the style of the King’s first year," he said. "This is obviously one element of it. But if you think of the book and the access that was given to Robert Hardman, if you think of the documentary, if you think of his whole style as King, I think this is very much in keeping with that.

"And I do think his advisors, with this statement I’m sure we'll talk about it, have actually got it spot on.

"I think 20 years ago we would have got a very abrupt, short, statement, and that's about it. And I think they've gone as far as they possibly can given that the King has had a diagnosis of cancer and, as a lot of people know, processing that is a pretty tough process."

King Charles to remain in charge of state business

Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles will continue to "undertake state business and official paperwork as usual", this includes holding Privy Council meetings and weekly audiences with the Prime Minister.

Former royal butler Grant Harold told Sky News that King Charles won't let his diagnosis stop his from carrying out his duties.

"He's somebody who will not let anything stop him, so when it comes to health, I am not surprised he said that behind the scenes he is going to carry on," said Grant. "Like his late mother, he is somebody who puts duty ahead of everything, and dare I say it, even above his health."
