King Charles is navigating his cancer treatment well while continuing with his royal duties, a palace insider has said.

According to recent report, the monarch is said to be “managing” his condition while getting on with his day-to-day tasks.

After returning from a short visit to Canada with Queen Camilla, an insider revealed Charles has gone back to work and is trying to keep things as normal as possible.

As per The Express, father of Prince William and Prince Harry is responding positively to treatment and staying active because he believes strongly in fulfilling his role.

"The thing you learn about this illness [cancer] is that you just manage it. And that’s what he does,” the source revealed.

“The medical science has made incredible advances and I genuinely see no difference in him,” they added.

The insider further shared, "As long as you just do what the doctors say, just live your life as normal as possible… [and] that's exactly what he is doing."

Charles is said to be "driven by duty.” They said, "It’s no secret that he is still having treatment, but because he is incredibly fit, he is just dealing with it all incredibly well.

"As everybody knows, he is driven by duty, so he just gets on with it…. We’re just planning the programme as usual, trying to lighten it a little bit - [after all] he is 76 years old. No-one has had much success, however!"

Meanwhile, Sophie Winkleman, wife of Lord Frederick Windsor, the son of Queen Elizabeth's cousin Prince Michael of Kent, revealed that the monarch works harder than most people realize.

In a conversation with Tatler Magazine, the Two and a Half Men actress also shared that the King works all day, eats a quick dinner, and then stays up writing letters until 4 a.m.

"You see how he works all day long, has a quick supper and then disappears until about 4 a.m. to write letters,” she said of the monarch.

“He cares about so many things, and he comes up with brilliant solutions."
