Biographer Robert Hardman thinks highly of King Charles.
If anyone could trust his inner strength, it would be the monarch; his faith was deeper than anyone gave it credit for.
London - A day after King Charles (75) and Queen Camilla attended a morning service at St. Mary Magdalene Church near their country home in Norfolk, Buckingham Palace made the shocking announcement: King Charles has cancer.
There was no sign of Charles, the press wrote in unison that the monarch had been seen in good spirits at Sandringham after undergoing prostate surgery.
But Charles already knew about it.
Biographer Robert Hartman has followed the king for a long time and speaks of Charles' inner strength in an exclusive interview with
People
.
“King Charles is a fighter and has inner steel,” says Royal Author Robert Hardman
"He's a fighter and has inner steel," royal author Robert Hardman tells the weekly magazine: "He's philosophical and stoic and has a deeper faith than people appreciate." A positive attitude and strong resilience can work with any species of illness will not be a disadvantage.
While His Majesty has retreated to Sandringham and can count on trusted people like Reverend Paul Williams, Camilla is attending an appointment in Salisbury on behalf of the British Royal Family.
Charles pulls the strings in state affairs behind the scenes and works hand in hand with the government, it is said.
King Charles' life has always hung by a thread in the past
It seems as if the king and queen are seeking salvation in the here and now.
The author of “The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy,” however, looks into the past and conjures up old horror scenarios that show Charles’ strength and will.
In 1994, Charles was confronted with an armed man in Sydney who had managed to get through the security forces and luckily only had a blank bullet with him.
In 1996, a bomb threat overshadowed the inauguration of the Prince of Wales.
