MAKE CHARLES STOP!

QUEEN URGED TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO KING'S BUSY SCHEDULE

- 

King Charles put on a brave front during his historic visit to Canada last week with Queen Camilla.

At 76, the health-embattled British monarch pushed through a packed 48-hour schedule, which included delivering a 26-minute speech at the opening of the Canadian parliament, dropping a puck at a street hockey game in Ottawa and planting a tree at the governor general's residence Rideau Hall.

But local royal fans noticed a stark decline in the King since his last visit to the Commonwealth country three years ago, with an onlooker telling New Idea: “He looked like he’s aged a decade since last time. He was still our lovely smiling Charles, but this time he was very pale and seemed weary.”

New Idea can reveal that palace insiders are urging Camilla to persuade Charles to “slow down”. But unfortunately, so far, that request has gone unheeded.
