Ingrid Seward, an expert on the royal family, writes in a new book that King Charles uses an oxygen tent while he sleeps to help fight a bothersome illness.
My Mother and I, the aforementioned book, launches today with the intention of delving deeply into the intricate bond that existed between the late Queen Elizabeth and King Charles.
One of the most prominent allegations stated in the book is that the Queen was confused by her son’s lifestyle and decisions, even though he knew he would be king of England someday since he was her oldest son.
Furthermore, according to Seward, Charles’ unconventional childhood—his mother’s busy schedule as queen meant that he was often looked after by nannies when he was a child—had a profound effect on him as an adult.
The Queen found Charles’ spoiled lifestyle incomprehensible and never understood it. Charles is not a greedy guy by nature, but he ceased considering others’ needs due to his life of being deferred to.
When King George VI has sinus difficulties, Seward said, he sleeps in an oxygen tent.
“He has no compassion for insignificant illnesses and manages his own sinus issues by slumbering in an oxygen tent,” Seward says.
“He will never have a lie-in on a Sunday morning, regardless of his health, and he will never use tiredness or oversleeping as an excuse to skip even one hour of work.”
After the 75-year-old monarch’s latest cancer diagnosis, concerns for Charles have understandably grown. Just days after the King was released from the hospital after undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate, news broke from Buckingham Palace that cancer had been discovered.
Despite the fact that the Palace has taken steps to emphasize that it is not prostate cancer, it has not been made apparent what kind of disease Charles is suffering from or what stage he is currently in at the time of writing the book.
As the King begins his treatment, it was revealed earlier this week that he is alternating between the Sandringham residence and London. This is happening while he is receiving therapy. The day before yesterday, it was reported that he was going to return to Sandringham by himself. It was said that he preferred to remain there since it provides him with greater confidentiality.
“I would imagine that we probably won’t see him at Westminster Abbey now,” The Inside Story spoke about in an interview with the Today show on BBC Radio 4.
There is no doubt in my mind that there will be a statement or a message, and he will want to interact with it. This is the kind of situation in which an absence is noticed, but the day-to-day operations of the monarchy will not truly alter.
