King Charles III adjusts schedule during election campaign
- King Charles III will limit public appearances for the next six weeks during the election campaign.
- The decision comes as the general election campaign is underway, prompting adjustments to the King's schedule.
- King Charles III's reduced visibility is notable amidst the political activities leading up to the election.
King Charles III will be staying home for the next six weeks, not because of his cancer treatments. He wants to be a unifying figure during the election without getting involved in politics. The monarch has specific rules to follow during this time. No recent prime minister has been denied the right to end Parliament. If the king did interfere, it could be seen as undemocratic. The last time a monarch dismissed a government was in 1834. The current Parliament session will end on Friday, approved by Charles. He won't attend the formal closing ceremony to avoid distracting from the election. The royal family will postpone any events that could take attention away from the election. The king and queen will still attend the D-Day anniversary. This is Charles' first general election as king. The monarchy must stay neutral during elections to maintain stability and continuity. The British people will have the power to decide over the next six weeks.
