The King has returned to London from Sandringham and begun the process of his healing on Monday, February 5th. He shall halt his public duties for the time being until further notice, although he continues to oversee the “State business and official paperwork and important as usual.”
According to the issued declaration, The King “remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.” However, in the event that the King is unable to carry out his official duties, a constitutional mechanism exists wherein counselors of state can be appointed to stand in for the monarch. Currently, this includes Queen Camilla, Prince William, the Princess Royal, and Prince Edward.
