'Determined Like His Mother': King Charles Compared to Queen Elizabeth for Adamant Wish to Attend Easter Even Though Ill

King Charles III, who is currently receiving cancer treatments, was, according to royal biographer Ian Lloyd, "determined like his mother" to fulfill his royal duty by leading the church congregation at Windsor Castle on Easter Sunday. The comparison to the late Queen Elizabeth II paid homage to her "fierce commitment" to her promise to "serve her people no matter what," even if she were sick, as "seen in her final few months of life."

The monarch's appearance and walkabout with the general public afterward, comes amid reports that reflect the "increasing bond" between King Charles and his daughter-in-law, Kate, Princess of Wales, who is also battling cancer, during their shared ordeal.

"The King has always had a close, warm, and unique relationship with the princess," a palace source recently spilled. "She has a great love and respect for him and his position. When they were in hospital together there was a lot of toddling down the corridor to spend time with her. He has been encouraging and supporting her throughout."

"He's not a father figure as such — she’s got her own dad to whom she's absolutely devoted — but you could say the king treats her like the daughter he never had," a report published on Saturday, March 23, stated. "You see it in the pictures of them together. That relationship is best summed up in those fascinating moments when she greets him first with a kiss and then with a curtsy."

"It is highly unusual for just the two of them to sit down together like this," a source revealed when discussing a reported lunch meeting between the future queen and her Sovereign on Thursday, March 21.

Although the King is "slowly but surely" starting to return to royal events, sources revealed that it could be "until at least September" before the future queen does the same.

In addition to the Prince of Wales, Queen Camilla will also lead the monarchy for what many analysts are saying "could be the rest of this year." Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, will also "work overtime" to do everything they can to keep the monarchy relevant to the public.

"Legitimate questions will be asked about whether this reduced pecking order will cope," royal expert Richard Kay observed. "The experience of the past few weeks has shown just how vulnerable the family has become and the public’s reaction has been one of disquiet."

The commentator then pointed out how "Nothing illustrated that unease more than the sight of the disgraced Prince Andrew leading the royals into the Windsor memorial service for ex-King Constantine of Greece.
