King Charles Asks Brother Edward and Sophie to Help for the First Time


King Charles has asked his brother Prince Edward and wife Sophie to step in for major royal duties in a Buckingham Palace first

Prince Edward and Sophie, who wore a pale blue dress and beige coat, looked thrilled as they inspected the troops after French soldiers joined their British and Commonwealth counterparts at a Changing of the Guard ceremony today (April 8) at Buckingham Palace at 11am.

Buckingham Palace announced in February 2024 that King Charles III received a cancer diagnosis one week after he was admitted to The London Clinic to undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate.
