Staff at a Nottingham hospital have opened up about treating King Charles over the past 30 years, describing him as an "ideal patient". Workers at Queen's Medical Centre have shared their memories of meeting the then Prince of Wales, recalling him to be personable and chatty.
Senior staff nurse Gail Burbage was at home when she was called in to look after Prince Charles on ward D9 when he broke his elbow in a polo match in 1990. “I jumped at the chance,” said Gail.
Charles had a three-hour operation and was in a normal side room on the ward, with a small bay occupied by his security team and personal assistants throughout his week-long stay. “It was an honour to care for him," she added.
