“This is a great indicator of how the king is coping with the diagnosis,” a senior palace official told the Times about the 11-day trip. “He is a great believer in mind, body and soul. The doctor is here to make sure his body is properly cared for. (The trip) lifted his spirits, his spirits and got him better. In that sense, the tour, despite its demands, was the perfect tonic.”
Time reports that Buckingham Palace is in contact with the British government regarding Charles and Queen Camilla’s tour next year. “It is understood the plans will need to be approved by Charles’ medical team,” the newspaper reported, noting that “the King gains enormous strength from the Queen’s presence, not least because she keeps it real.”

Time: “That he was willing to go this far, and he was incredibly happy and determined to do so, is a great testament to the King’s dedication to service and duty. We’re now working on a very normal, full overseas tour program for next year, and it’s very important for us to finish (this trip) knowing that we can think in those terms.”
