Today, 5/23, Prince William was scheduled to participate in the planned royal engagement — he suddenly canceled just before. The decision to do so has nothing to do with Princess Kate's health, but rather was made yesterday after guidance from Buckingham Palace surrounding a surprise general election convened by British Prime Minister Rishi Snack, scheduled for 7-4 to 6 weeks.

Thus, the Royal Family has significantly suspended all royal engagements during that period, Trooping the Colour (the British Monarch's annual birthday parade, set at 6.15 am this year).

The announcement came just 4.30 am after King Charles returned publicly in the face of royal duties at 1am.First, regular prostate surgery was performed on 1/26, and then, after the cancer was detected during the operation, the treatment of the cancer was carried out. The King, too, is cancelling the engagement planned for tomorrow — a visit to British carmaker Bentley — and the King and Queen Camilla issued a statement yesterday stating that all royal engagements "may seem to distract or distract from the election campaign" have been cancelled or postponed. Regarding the cancelled appearance, Buckingham Palace said the king and Queen had sent their "sincere apologies" to those affected. 

About William's cancellation appeared today, Kensington Palace and check-out changes, traveling in the future very high, "Hi every."  

The decision to suspend the royal engagement was made after Charles met with Snak for their usual Wednesday private audience yesterday, and after the king agreed with Snak's request to dissolve Parliament. The result of the 7-4 election will determine whether the Snack conservative party has been voted by the government, and if so, the king will become the 2nd Prime Minister within 3 years of taking the throne. (Former prime minister Liz Truss resigned in less than 2022 during the reign of Charles, which began on 9/8 6 weeks; Snak is his 2nd prime minister.

"Following the Prime Minister's statement this afternoon calling the general election, the Royal Family will, in accordance with normal procedures, postpone any deal that may appear to distract attention or distract from the election campaign," a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said yesterday. It remains largely unclear whether events on the very busy royal calendar for the next six weeks will make the cut, but this news that Charles and Camilla

the Royal family will suddenly take a vacation follows the already bizarre first half of 2024, when Kate is completely out of the public eye (her last appearance). (The public engagement was last Christmas Day), William is taking a big vacation to take care of his wife when she fights cancer, and the king also fights cancer and is away from public duty for 1 month from late May to 4.30 AM until his return at 3am. This decision is a chance for Charles to slow down, as Camilla has begged him to do since his return to face public duty just three weeks ago. Camilla was reportedly afraid that Charles would chew more than he could chew as he continued to be treated for cancer. 

For William, this will undoubtedly be a welcome respite from work as Kate herself continues to receive cancer treatment and his 3 children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, will take a half-year leave from Lambrook School next week. This decision by Buckingham Palace gives William "more than a month of family time" and Newsweek "provides an important silver lining" to the Prince of Wales, but for Charles it would probably be a frustrating step backwards when he was back in his stride.(During a May 9 visit to the Royal School of Military Engineering the King was delighted that he was "out of my cage" after spending months working behind the scenes and joining a small audience, people report.Newsweek reported that "Chaos has already added to the chaotic royal year.""

Ingrid Seward, a longtime royal biographer and editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, said she was surprised by Buckingham Palace's decision: "He has already nabbed [the tap-out] because I see that Prince William is not working at all today," she told Newsweek. It was. "It may be a bit of a silver lining for William, but people are already saying that William is a bit workshy. People will think it's very strange.”
