Prince Harry’s memoir offers plenty of private glimpses only a son could glimpse. Apparently, King Charles III suffered. following an old polo injury. That’s why it wasn’t a good idea to simply open doors at Balmoral Castle, explains the exile royal.
London – Prince Harry (38) reports in “Spare” (Eng. “Reserve”) of his father’s “constant neck and back pain”. King Charles III (74). He also explains how he feared accidentally opening the wrong door at Balmoral Castle, the Windsors’ Scottish country home. He would have been afraid of what was on the other side, writes the Duke of Sussex.
Behind the doors of Balmoral Castle, Father Charles was unexpectedly able to stand on his head
“If you opened the wrong door, you could burst into Pa while his valet was helping him dress,” Harry writes in his biography, Spare, which was finally released in bookstores after a long announcement. “Worse, you could barge in while he was doing his headstands. These exercises, prescribed by his physical therapist, were the only effective remedy for the constant pain in Dad’s neck and back.”reports the son, thereby revealing things that his father might not have shared with the world public.
Admittedly, the pose isn’t very royal, but it requires a great deal of acrobatic skill that you wouldn’t expect from the long-time heir to the throne of Queen Elizabeth II (96, † 2022). But Harry happily recounts that Charles, now 74, did headstands “daily in boxers” while “leaning against a door or hanging from a pole like a skilled acrobat.”
How athletic is King Charles III?
If you believe his wife Camilla (75), the king is a model of physical fitness for his British subjects. Camilla revealed in July 2020 that he was probably the fittest man of his age that she knew.
When he’s not stretching or throwing a football or playing ping-pong for charity, Charles III is wandering. according to his wife like no other: “He’s like a mountain goat, leaves everyone miles behind.”
Camilla herself is a big ballet fan and, even during the corona pandemic, trained at weekly courses at the Silver Swans, a dance class for seniors at the RAD (Royal Academy of Dance), of which she was Vice Patron in Queen Elizabeth’s time.
King Charles would have begged not to be rudely pulled out of the headstand pose
“If you put a little finger on the doorknob, you could hear it begging from the other side, ‘No! No! Do not open! Please God don’t open the door!’” Harry adds. It is not known whether the daily ritual finally helped the king to achieve his final healing or whether he can still be found in a headstand behind palace walls.
Perhaps it is also a small return coach for anecdotes that Charles III. according to Prince Harry also loves to perform. One of them hit him deeply, the king’s second-born son freely tells his readers, like the headstand story. In it, Charles doubted Harry’s paternity in front of everyone present when he visited a psychiatric hospital. Sources used: Bang Showbiz, pagesix.com
