King Charles' skin not looking healthy

[HettySunshine]

I've just seen this picture on BBC News of the King shaking hands with Liz Truss.

Do you think his skin looks a bit inflamed? I hope he's not unwell.

so they put a little seed of doubt in people's minds about her health, commenting that she looked tired, ie. was ill and couldn't handle the job any more. It was very cleverly done.

If that is OP's intent it's fairly pointless since none of us get any say who is head of state and his fitness for the 'job' is irrelevant.

Between the recordings of his adultery, cash for honours and the improper letters to ministers I think being in his 70s and a drinker is pretty low down the list.

He most certainly did die of lung cancer. His doctors had removed his right lung only a few months before, but they never told anyone ( not even the King) that he had cancer. He still had all the symptoms of cancer after the operation so it is assumed that the cancer had spread. When he died, his doctors said that he'd died of a heart attack ( no doubt because they'd never mentioned cancer to anyone) but it is obvious now that his cancer killed him.

There have been predictions that Charles might only manage 3-4 years as king. But I guess we will see!

This looks like a still from a Twilight movie.

Is that a reference to Harriet Jones :)

It was actually because she'd blown up some aliens when they were retreating and the Doctor wasn't impressed and said he'd bring her down. And he did.

Although as it transpired in later episodes, you should be careful what you wish for.

He's 73, almost 74. Plenty of people are dead by then, loads have illnesses whether mild or severe. I'm sure he has the very best medical care.

Not just the skin though, his hands & fingers are swollen.

Okay, if we're being pedantic, a heart attack caused by a blood clot in a vessel leading to the heart.

Regardless, it wasn't directly the lung cancer.

Too right
I agree that his hands look pink in comparison to Liz truss vampire hands
Also queen herself had quite sausage fingers so poss genetic

Dactylitis maybe caused by arthritis. He’s had it for years and often remarks on it himself.

It looks like she's gripping a bit tight!

I was also thinking this op and have done for some time. He has a very florid complexion, which he didn’t have when he was younger, I assumed blood pressure issues, gout, arthritis I’d be surprised if it was life threatening but I do think he has some health issues, yes, his face often looks purple too. I reckon he’s also a bit of a drinker.

A lot of people in their 70s don't look too fresh in their complexion and generally have a few things wrong with them so I doubt the King is any different.

I guess the longer he lasts the more he saves the Wale's children from that sheer intensity.

If something was in his way surely the normal thing to do would be to ask for it to be moved? I’d never dream of flapping at someone who worked with me like that.

That’s probably why then isn’t it? Probably deducible from the first time you asked

Okay, sounds like there's still dispute over the cause of death...

🤷‍♀️

No. He’s not a smoker. He detests it as a habit and it was a bone of contention between him and Camilla as she was/is a smoker.

Those puffy hands and fingers are signs of gout.

Gout?

Camilla eventually packed it in at Charles's behest. Though, I can see her having a sneaky one now and then and sucking frantically on a mint afterwards.

He does look very Hanoverian.

Based on that pic I'd be more worried about the health of Liz Truss. I've seen a healthier looking corpse 😂
