Robert Hardman, author of a new biography about King Charles III, said, “The King is a thoroughly decent man, a person of integrity who has always strived to do his best as a public servant and tried to put duty before himself. He has always had an innate sense of duty and tried his best to justify his good fortune by working tirelessly to improve the lot of others less fortunate than himself.”
Queen Camilla has also been seen fulfilling royal duties on her own in Swindon where she said that King Charles was “fine” when asked by a royal fan.
