What did King Charles’ nephew say about his uncle’s enthusiastic attitude?
In an interview with People Magazine, Peter Philips revealed that King Charles had a very enthusiastic attitude while undergoing cancer treatments. Philips said, “He is always pushing his staff, everybody and his doctors and nurses to be able to say, ‘Actually, can I do this? Can I do that?”
Peter added, “So the overriding message would be that he’s obviously very keen to get back to a form of normality. And he’s probably frustrated that recovery is taking a little longer than probably he would want it to.” Several sources also confessed that the doctors are pleased with the amount of progress made by his Royal Highness since his cancer detection.
