King Charles in a Video Message: 'I Will Serve to the Best of My Abilities'

Thinned and visibly tried, King Charles appears in a video recorded a few days ago in a hall of Windsor Castle and released for the 75th anniversary of Commonwealth Day, which this year is celebrated without a sovereign. Queen Elizabeth and her husband Philip, aware of the importance of the Commonwealth for the kingdom of England, were particularly keen on the annual appointment at Westminster. Charles, however, stays at home in Sandringham, where he is recovering from treatment for cancer. And although he has been present at several official appointments in recent days, he has limited himself to sending a video message in which he promises to continue to lead the nation 'to the best of my abilities'. The words of Charles 'In recent weeks, I have been deeply touched by your wonderfully kind and thoughtful wishes for my health and in return I can only continue to serve you to the best of my abilities across the Commonwealth,' the words of King Charles III sitting at a desk, elegantly dressed in a blue suit. However, the message has sounded the first alarm bells: what does the sovereign mean? Is he perhaps preparing to abdicate and pass the crown and scepter to William when he no longer has the strength to reign? Unlike his mother, who had held on until the end. Frail and vulnerable, Elizabeth II had continued to work until a few days before her disappearance at Balmoral, on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96.
