King Charles’ show of intent with his royal duties has been explained by royal author Angela Levin.
The monarch has reaffirmed his commitment to the role by making clear that he is keen to attend Royal Ascot and Trooping the Colour.
According to Levin, the King is keen to attend in order to “show gratitude” to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
“The King has outlined that he’s going to step up his business commitments”, she said.

“Royal Ascot is part of that. Trooping the Colour is three days before then.
“He wants to do that to show his gratitude to the Queen. She’ll have lots of her horses running and he wants to be there.”

Much of the royal horse handling has been left to Camilla who is “very keen”, Levin told GB News.
“I think she should certainly be there as long as he is”, she said.
“But I just hope that he’s not pushing himself too far too quickly. There’s loads of people there.
“You hear all these stories of people coming back with all these germs. I just hope he doesn’t push himself.

PA“I think they feel they need to say when he’s sort of coming back or they say they hope he’s coming back so people don’t get too anxious again.
“That’s why he’s in a car, going back and forth to London, where he could take a helicopter so he can wave at lots of people so they know he’s still there.”
The cancer stricken Royal Family are continuing to battle against the tide as its slimmed down nature is tested.
Last week Prince William provided a boost by making a return to royal duties by touring Surplus to Supper, based in Sunbury-on-Thames, his first public event since Kate announced she is being treated for cancer.
William spoke of his commitment to helping his wife through her cancer diagnosis when he received heartfelt cards of support for his wife and the King.
He appeared touched by the messages from volunteer Rachel Candappa, who was working at a food distribution charity the royal visited in Surrey.
When she asked about Kate, telling him to “take care of her”, William replied: “I will.”
