“This sentiment proves one thing: the monarchy is very popular, and so is Charles III,” France’s best-known royal critic Stéphane Bern told the newspaper. “It was more believable than the commentary he gave when he ascended the throne.”
He said he was “rather relieved” by transparent communication about King Charles’ condition. “I’m even more surprised by Kate’s medical problems and very long recovery period. It remains a mystery. In the case of Charles III, things are told more clearly.”

He added: “Australians know that His Majesty King Charles has always reached out to us in our country’s most difficult times, showing kindness and care to people in difficult circumstances.
“We are all thinking of him and his family at this very difficult time. We wish him a speedy recovery.”
New Zealand Prime Minister Christo Luxon expressed support for the king in a social media post. “Kia Kaha King Charles. On behalf of all New Zealanders, I wish His Majesty a speedy recovery.”
