King Charles gets 'spring in step' from adorable gift from Prince Louis

An adorable gift to King Charles from his grandson Prince Louis gave the monarch a real 'spring in his step', a royal commentator has claimed.

The King returned to public duty on Tuesday after he took a break following a cancer diagnosis. He was seen visiting a cancer treatment centre in London sporting a pink dinosaur tie, which is said to be a gift from one of his grandchildren.

Commentators believe it was a present from six-year-old Prince Louis, six, who is said to be a dinosaurs fan, as the Mirror writes.

Royal expert Robert Hardman told the MailOnline : “His tie said it all. It has been a favourite since he became King, appearing on away days, at Palace receptions and even a trip to church. Featuring a blue dinosaur pattern on a pink silk background, it is a cheeky play on his official ‘Charles III Rex’ cypher. Staff know that when ‘C-Rex’ is wearing his ‘T-Rex’ tie, he probably has a spring in his step.”

In the Latin language the word ‘Rex’ means ‘King’ and the monarch went back to work after he had made enough “progress” in his own cancer treatment. King Charles spent an hour with Queen Camilla at the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre. The couple met patients, families and staff.

The visit was designed to raise awareness of cancer's impact on other people and highlighted the importance of early detection. It also marked the King's first day as the new Patron of Cancer Research UK. He also spoke about his own journey with the condition and admitted to patients his diagnosis came as a “shock”.

He shared that after his visit, we would continue his treatment later that day. He said: “I’ve got to have my treatment this afternoon as well.” The King will not be doing a full summer schedule and measures are in place to avoid over-exerting him.

His beloved pink dinosaur tie, however, suggested he is feeling hopeful about the future. A royal aide revealed: “He also wants to show it is possible to work with cancer, although he appreciates that everyone has their own journey and it is not for everyone.” While on the visit, the King also took the opportunity to reassure the public he was feeling “well”.
