King Charles undergoing treatment, Camilla at rest, Kate convalescent: who leads the royal family?

“To be believed, I must be seen.” He was one of the most famous mottos from the Queen Elizabeth, who was talking about himself – obviously – but was referring in general to the monarchical institution. That Crown that in Great Britainmore than ever, he is struggling to “be seen”. Some of the key figures, in fact, are temporarily out of the spotlight for health reasons, and those who remain are staying bending over backwards to be present both at home and outside.

At the top of the list is King Charleswho went under the knife in January for prostate surgery that should have kept him at rest just for few days: from the clinic, however, he came out with a cancer diagnosis, who has already started to fight by following a specific therapy. She therefore put her family diary on standby institutional commitments, to which he appears only on video, as he will – according to plans – at Commonwealth Day scheduled for next Monday.

An appointment that, it is rumored, will instead mark the return to presence from the Queen Camilla. Yes, because the sovereign's wife – until then – will be on break to recharge her batteries: after the recent tour de force of events, she took a short vacation, it seems she flew to the seaside for a bit of relaxation. «You didn't expect to find yourself in the position of lead the family», a source told the Times. «But she is ready to do All the necessary for the institution.”

On the other hand, at least «until after Easter», the Windsors will not be able to count on the public support of Kate Middleton, still in post-operative convalescence: In fact, in January she underwent abdominal surgery and is now at home, ad Adelaide Cottage, which is gradually occurring restoring. Always supported by husband Williamwho wanted to think only of his family until complete recovery of his wife, but – in fact – it was not possible for him.

Carlo's diagnosis, combined now with Camilla's stop, rest on his shoulders the responsibility of representing the Crown. So, if you are forced to forfeit an event “personal matters” (as happened a few days ago at the ceremony in memory of Constantine of Greece) in an instant it breaks out panic. Especially on social media, where they proliferate conspiracy theories taking advantage of what Buckingham Palace not explicit out of respect for privacy

Fake news that complicates a puzzle already quite complex. With Harry And Andrew for some time out – for different reasons – from the circle of working royal, in the front row there are – in addition to William – the indefatigable Princess Anna, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, another key figure of the British Crown. Which, even in the moments of difficultyit absolutely must continue to “be seen”.
