King Charles has made the 150-mile trip back to the royal estate of Sandringham after returning to London yesterday to continue his cancer treatment.

According to reports, the monarch was without doting wife Queen Camilla, who had public duties to attend to today.

Charles has done his utmost to remain stoic and brave in the face of his diagnosis, which by all accounts came as a shock after the 75-year-old had undergone treatment for an enlarged prostate.

Dressed in a smart suit and tie, Charles waved to well-wishers who had fathered outside Buckingham Palace and along the Mall today as he began his journey back to Sandringham.

Yesterday we reported how the King had returned to Buckingham Palace via helicopter alongside Queen Camilla to continue his treatment, though it has been speculated that Charles prefers Sandringham as it allows him for privacy.

A source told Hello Magazine!: “When the King visits Sandringham, it’s a place where he can get some solace. One of the tour guides mentioned how he enjoys having his breakfast tea and afternoon tea in front of the backdrop of his beautiful gardens. Even when the house is open and he is staying there, the King tends to reside upstairs.”

According to the Daily Express, King Charles’ return to London yesterday marked his second course of treatment (his treatment plan, as with the type of cancer he is suffering from, remains unknown), and the monarch is expected to undergo further treatment later this month.
