He cannot get involved with government policy.

There’s no doubt that 2024 has turned out to be a difficult and emotional year for the royals, and the shock cancer diagnosis received by both King Charles and the Princess of Wales would have been deeply distressing for the late Queen Elizabeth. “It was a double whammy of bad news affecting two of those closest to her, so it would have upset her terribly had she still been alive,” royal commentator Duncan Larcombe tells OK!. “But I think she would have been extremely proud of how they’ve both handled things.The Queen always had that ‘keep calm and carry on’ work ethic, and we’ve really seen that continue with the King.
