King Charles III has been less visible in public over the past six weeks, not due to health reasons as some may speculate, but rather as a result of the upcoming general election. Following a call for a general election by Rishi Sunak, Buckingham Palace announced that the royal family would be postponing engagements that could be seen as influencing the election campaign, as it is crucial for the royals to remain neutral and stay above politics.
The King recently participated in 'Holyrood Week' in Scotland, an annual event that celebrates Scottish culture and community. However, he is expected to return to London by Friday to carry out an important duty.
