KING CHARLES JOKES ABOUT BEING LET OUT OF HIS CAGE – British monarch visited a military training college on his latest engagement
King Charles joked he had been “allowed out of his cage” as the British monarch visited a military training college on his latest engagement since returning to public duties after his cancer diagnosis.
The 75-year-old king was “greatly encouraged” to get back to public-facing duties, Buckingham Palace said when he resumed engagements at the end of last month, while his nephew Peter Phillips said in a TV interview his uncle had been frustrated by the pace of his recuperation.
The visit was the king’s second engagement in two days after he hosted the first annual garden party at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday. However, the engagements meant he was unable to see his younger son Prince Harry, who was making a rare trip to Britain this week from his home in California.
A spokesperson for Harry said a reunion between Charles and his estranged son would “not be possible due to his majesty’s full program.”
