King Charles keen to return to public-facing duties and ‘inspire hope’

Writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue has discussed King Charles' first public engagement following his cancer diagnosis. The King last week returned to public-facing duties after he spent the day with fellow cancer patients at London's Macmillan Cancer Centre. Queen Camilla revealed following the outing that she has been trying to hold King Charles back from returning to public-facing duties following his diagnosis. “He’s very keen to get out and about to kind of inspire hope especially when he was talking at the Macmillan Cancer Centre research headquarters talking to actual people undergoing cancer treatment,” Ms Krakue told Sky News host Caroline Di Russo. “He was very emotional and affectionate, he was very touchy and holding people's hands, which is a huge kind of distance from how he used to behave.”
