King Charles is continuing to maintain a busy schedule of royal duties despite his ongoing cancer treatment, demonstrating the same "keep calm and carry on" work ethic that characterised his late mother's reign, a royal commentator has claimed.
Duncan Larcombe has suggested the King may even be pushing himself too hard in his determination to fulfil his role.
Larcombe said: "He has kept going, and you get the impression he's been doing as much as he physically can. I wonder if his doctors might privately be a bit annoyed that he hasn't rested as much as he could have."
The monarch's dedication comes despite receiving his cancer diagnosis less than a year after his coronation, when the condition was discovered during an unrelated procedure for an enlarged prostate.

One of the King's most significant appearances since his diagnosis was at June's Trooping the Colour, also known as the King's Birthday Parade.
Despite appearing somewhat more weary than usual, he cut an imposing figure in full ceremonial uniform of the Irish Guards.
The event was particularly notable as it marked Princess Catherine's first official appearance since her own cancer diagnosis in March.
The Princess stood between Charles and Prince William on the palace balcony, accompanied by their children in coordinating navy outfits.

Former royal correspondent Jenny Bond, said at the time: "He was obviously thrilled to have Catherine alongside him.
"It's probably the best birthday present of all."
The celebration featured over 1,400 soldiers, 400 musicians and 200 horses, culminating in a spectacular RAF flypast with the Red Arrows.
Charles's commitment to royal duties mirrors the late Queen Elizabeth's dedicated approach, though experts suggest she would have been concerned about recent challenges.

Larcombe told OK!: "The Queen would have been dismayed because her son had really hit the ground running as King.
"He was enjoying lots of public walkabouts and handshakes, and everything was going well.
"Then the diagnosis came as a bolt from the blue and completely derailed everything.
"There's so much respect out there for Charles, and this will have boosted his reputation further and made him more relatable."
