King Charles is like a “caged lion” and frustrated by his cancer diagnosis because he’s got so much more to achieve, an insider has claimed.
His Majesty – who is well-known for his love of letter writing – has continued to pen notes to his nearest and dearest in the weeks and months following the devastating news. One recipient says he has spoken of his “somewhat battered health”, but that the letters are still positive and “full of light”.
The correspondences describe his “determination” to triumph over the condition. One pen pal says they’re “full of exclamation marks” especially when he writes about his recovery.
Regarding his three-month absence from official duties, a source close to him told The Times: He had very high standards for public service, and another friend chimed in: “If you don’t fulfill all your official roles, you’re letting people and institutions down.” “There’s a lion in a cage, stuck at home, leading everyone astray.” Days after returning to official duties this week, the king surprised his late mother with one of her favorite events.

Prince Charles was also seen speaking to Royal Windsor Horse Show director Simon Brooks-Ward, who knew the late Queen well.
The king’s surprise visit to the event comes just days after he spoke of his “shock” over his cancer diagnosis as he met other patients on his return to official duties.
