King Charles is determined to resume his full schedule of duties following his cancer diagnosis earlier this year, a royal expert has claimed.
Speaking to GB News, royal commentator Ingrid Seward revealed that the King "doesn't stop" despite health challenges.
Seward said: "King Charles is very keen to make up for lost time.
"He's done very little travelling this year because of his cancer scare but they're very strong.

"These Windsor men, they absolutely can outrun anyone and people that come into the family, for example Camilla finds it hard to keep.
"There's Charles, who's got cancer, and he's been doing all kinds of events. He went to Gladiators.

"He's now, as we speak, at the Royal Variety Performance as well as doing all his kingly duties and giving a diplomatic reception. I mean, he doesn't stop.
"He's 76 and he's got cancer. We don't quite know what sort of cancer, but he is doing all these things and Camilla has a chest infection and she's laid absolutely flat.
“So it just gives you an idea of the energy of the Windsors."

On arrival, the King accepted flowers on behalf of Camilla from eight-year-old Iris King-Taylor and ten-year-old Louie Cooper.
Show hosts Alan Carr and Amanda Holden expressed their delight at the King's presence despite his wife's absence.
"His Majesty was amazingly charming – he said we definitely earned our pound that we got paid," Amanda Holden remarked, adding: "I've always said out of everyone he's got the best sense of humour in the whole of the Royal Family."

PAConfirming the Queen's absence, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said: "Following a recent chest infection, The Queen continues to experience some lingering post-viral symptoms, as a result of which doctors have advised that, after a busy week of engagements, Her Majesty should prioritise sufficient rest.
"With great regret, she has therefore withdrawn from attendance at tonight’s Royal Variety Performance.
"His Majesty will attend as planned."
