The 77-year-old monarch, who made a surprise appearance at a country whisky shop the other day, reminded fans of his illness with an exhausted look in a video clip marking the late queen's 100th birthday, Geo News writes.
VIDEO OF THE DAY
The king's health problems were revealed as he prepared for a four-day state visit to the United States. A video tribute showed the queen's penultimate appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. However, the father of Prince William and Harry did not mention his own health struggles in a video posted to the royal family's social media channels on April 21.
“My family and I pause to reflect on the life and loss of a ruler who meant so much to us all, and to celebrate once again the blessings of her memory,” the king began, his eyes looking dim.
Charles appeared on screen for most of the video, which was interspersed with highlights from his mother's life.

Reacting to the king's speech, one user wrote: “This is such a great message. Unfortunately, the king looks bad, in my humble opinion.”
“He's gotten a lot older, which is understandable. It's unclear how severe his treatment is or how serious the cancer is at this point, but it's probably taking its toll,” another user commented.
“Charles looks terrible. Sorry,” a third person noted.

It was previously reported that King Charles wants the Queen's biography to be written by a woman.
