The number of working family members in the royal household has reduced significantly in recent years. While that appears to be a plan to modernize the monarchy, they have become even fewer in the last few months. Kate Middleton is still recovering from her abdominal surgery and King Charles is not on royal duty as he is undergoing cancer treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Therefore, not only has Prince William stepped up, but Queen Camilla has also taken on a big responsibility in King Charles\u2019 absence, earning praise from royal experts.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, while Kate Middleton is recovering and Charles undergoes cancer treatment, Camilla has been given a new royal title, and it\u2019s not one we expected.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The royal family has become increasingly smaller over the last decade. With Queen Elizabeth\u2019s death, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle leaving, and disgraced Prince Andrew not having an official role, the number of working royals is most likely at an all-time low.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as Kate Middleton is now recovering after her abdominal surgery and King Charles has received a devastating cancer diagnosis, there aren\u2019t many royal family members on duty.<\/p>\n

Prince William & Queen Camilla steps up in Kate and King Charles\u2019 absence<\/h2>\n

As two of the most senior royal family members now must focus on getting back on their feet, others must step up. Unsurprisingly, it meant foremost Queen Camilla and Prince William.<\/p>\n

Prince William and the rest of the royal family have had plenty on their hands in the last few years. The feud with Harry and Meghan has brought a lot of frustration among the family members still active, and as the queen passed away and King Charles took over, it has been a big adjustment.<\/p>\n

William and his wife, Kate Middleton, took on much more responsibility and royal duties. However, in January, what was supposed to have been an average month suddenly changed with Kate\u2019s surgery and later King Charles\u2019 cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n

King Charles went through treatment for an enlarged prostate in mid-January, but not after it was announced that he had cancer.<\/p>\n

Why King Charles decided to share his cancer diagnosis<\/h2>\n

However, Buckingham Palace revealed that it isn\u2019t prostate cancer but was discovered during his treatment for an enlarged prostate.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual,\u201d the statement from Buckingham Palace read.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement continued, \u201cHis Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Kate Middleton chose not to disclose details about her abdominal surgery, King Charles decided to give out all the information.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, royal family members keep their medical issues a secret, most likely to get some privacy. Queen Camilla has stepped up in King Charles\u2019 absence, taking on many of his royal engagements.<\/p>\n

Queen Camilla \u2018persuaded\u2019 Charles to release cancer details, royal expert claims<\/h2>\n

So, was it King Charles who felt it was a good idea to release the details of his medical condition? According to royal expert Jennie Bond, it\u2019s possible Camilla persuaded him to do it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure Camilla will have encouraged the King to break with royal tradition and be open about his diagnosis. She\u2019s a very straightforward person, which is one of the most refreshing things about her,\u201d Bond told the\u00a0Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd, when she\u2019s not out on manoeuvres for the firm, she\u2019ll be fussing over him like any other doting wife. For a couple in their mid to late seventies, news like this is a sharp and unwelcome reminder of human mortality. But they both have a big job to do, with limited years to do it. And so they may well see this as a blessing in disguise. A cancer has been detected, it is being treated and the expectation is that the King will be back to full time duties just as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, Queen Camilla has been seen extensively in public the last month. Some weeks ago, she made the six-hour drive from Sandringham \u2013 where King Charles is recovering during his cancer treatment \u2013 to Wiltshire for a charity musical evening.<\/p>\n

Once there, she gave an update on Charles, reassuring well-wishers that her husband is in good condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s doing extremely well under the circumstances,\u201d Queen Camilla said, adding that King Charles is \u201ctouched by the public\u2019s support.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Saturday, February 10, King Charles broke the silence and released a statement, thanking everyone for their messages.<\/p>\n

Just days ago, during a meeting with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the king also revealed that he had been brought to tears by the public\u2019s well-wishes<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had so many wonderful messages and cards. It\u2019s reduced me to tears most of the time,\u201d King Charles told Sunak.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hear there\u2019s been a lot more attention and interest on those main, wonderful cancer charities, many of which I\u2019ve been patron for years,\u201d he added and laughed.<\/p>\n

While Queen Camilla is known not to love life in the spotlight, she has put all her energy towards serving The Crown. For example, she doesn\u2019t like giving speeches, but as King Charles isn\u2019t there at the moment, she does it.<\/p>\n

Appearing on\u00a0GB News<\/a>, royal expert and author Angela Levin states that Camilla has left her comfort zone.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has gone to as many engagements as possible that King Charles would have done, which is a huge load, but she\u2019ll do it with grace,\u201d Levin said.\u201d She would do her absolute best to stand by him.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Camilla\u2019s disliking of speaking in public, Levin said, \u201cShe\u2019s learned all that and I think it\u2019s a marvelous thing that she\u2019s done,\u201d adding that Camilla truly is King Charles\u2019 \u201crock\u201d through this difficult time.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s absolutely there when she\u2019s needed,\u201d Levin concluded.<\/p>\n

Angela Levin isn\u2019t the only one praising Camilla for her efforts and how she has handled the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cA heavy, heavy burden\u201d<\/h2>\n

On the popular royal podcast\u00a0Royally Obsessed<\/em>, co-hosts Roberta Fiorito and Rachel Bowie praised the queen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like on the heels of Camilla taking on solo engagements daily last week\u2026to see Camilla step up, keep calm and carry on, and knowing what she\u2019s also managing with her own kind of reactions and mental health over what\u2019s going on with her husband, it\u2019s the whole difference between duty and family,\u201d Roberta Fiorito said, as reported by\u00a0Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to continue what you have to do for the crown, but you also have to process your emotions over Charles\u2019s cancer diagnosis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Rachel Bowie added that Camilla has put on a brave face and that it must be hard to \u201cbite her tongue about the real issues that were going on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that has to be so incredibly hard, and such a heavy, heavy burden, to do while in public, too. It\u2019s a lot to balance all at once,\u201d Bowie said on\u00a0Royally Obsessed<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Because of the worrying times surrounding Kate Middleton\u2019s surgery recovery and King Charles\u2019 cancer diagnosis, last weekend reports about a shock return to the royal family spread.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry was said to be open to a temporary return to the royal family to support his sick father. The two were said to have had several \u201cwarm exchanges\u201d when Harry visited his father, with their meeting being said to have lasted about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Last week, Prince William and King Charles reportedly held several private meetings at Sandringham in Norfolk, as per the Mirror sources. That\u2019s also where the monarch is recovering after receiving his weekly cancer treatments in London.<\/p>\n

Harry to return?<\/h2>\n

The relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry has been at a low point for years, and they reportedly only speak to each other if absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n

After the private meetings between William and his father at Sandringham last week, a source told the\u00a0Mirror<\/a>\u00a0that there is \u201cno chance\u201d the future king would allow Harry to ever return to royal life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever has been discussed between William and the King is private, but it is absolutely and categorically clear that he (William) would not allow Harry to return. He thought it was a bad idea at the time and he\u2019s even more clear now,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

As Prince Harry returned to the UK to briefly see his father, the royal expert stated that William had \u201cgot used to Harry being rude, unkind, and attacking his wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it\u2019s well-known that Harry had issues with Camilla already as a teenager, and in his book,\u00a0Spare<\/em>, he portrayed her as an alienating figure within the royal family. He also gave her quite the cruel nickname, the \u201cother woman.\u201d<\/p>\n
