Isolated monarch? Sick, cancer-struck King Charles revealed as powerless, unable to control Prince William and Prince Andrew

After being casually humiliated by his brother, Prince Andrew, and son, Prince William, King Charles appeared to be a lonely king on Sunday as he attended a crucial veterans' memorial event in London without his wife, Queen Camilla, who is battling a chest infection, as quoted in a report by the Daily Beast.

In a shocking blow to the authority of the cancer-stricken king, William laid out plans for a radical shift in tone during his reign, subtly criticizing Charles in a move that would have been unimaginable prior to the king's cancer diagnosis.

The contrast between William's and his father's fortunes was made all the clearer by the triumphant presence of Kate Middleton. Charles was already smarting from his brother, Andrew, comprehensively winning the so-called Siege of Royal Lodge this weekend.


Andrew, who was kicked out of the royal family over assault allegations, has successfully defied his brother's attempts to eject him from his palatial home.

Royal Lodge Charles threw in the towel this weekend after a two-year whispering campaign, the existence and ultimate failure of which have inevitably served to make him look weak, politically obtuse, and powerless.

Charles cut a lonely figure Sunday as he led Remembrance events in London. The impression of vulnerability was starkly exaggerated by the absence of Camilla by his side. Palace sources have insisted there is no cause for alarm and said she will be back on duty next week.

However, the diagnosis has done little to project an image of monarchical strength, especially given an emotional reaction Camilla had when they were on tour in Samoa, after Charles said he hoped to survive long enough to visit the region again.

In an astonishingly explicit reminder of the collapse of discipline and the pre-succession era which the monarchy has entered since Charles announced he had cancer, William, 42, openly discussed his vision for changing the monarchy with the Sunday Times royal correspondent, Roya Nikkhah, saying he was going to do it differently for my generation.

He added that he was going to throw empathy in there as well because he really cares about what he does. He said he hoped she would return to a fuller program of engagements next year.
