Fans of BBC have been concerned after Huw Edwards was absent from the Royal coverage today.
The popular newsreader was the one to deliver the news that Queen Elizabeth had died on September 8 and was later praised for his professional manner and outstanding coverage. But today, as the new King visited Wales for the first time, Huw was replaced by Welsh presenter Nick Servini.
Viewers have recently become concerned for Huw's health as they noticed he had "bloodshot eyes" while presenting. Others pointed out that he had a paler complexion before today's absence.

Taking to Twitter, Tammi said: "Become very fond of @thehuwedwards over the last four days I hope he's getting enough sleep his eye is very bloodshot @BBCNews." Callum said: "Huw Edwards must be shattered... Some innings from the bloke in the last week or so. #BBC."
Another user said: "Poor fella has a bloodshot eye, can someone give this man 400 winks! Is there not another Royal Anchor that can take over? @BBCNews."
BBC has since confirmed that the newsreader is actually taking a short break before stepping up to cover the Queen's funeral on Monday, September 19. The broadcasters said he is not presenting on Friday due to "preparing for coverage on Sunday and Monday".
