Well. Turning to Royal News Now and doctors are set to review King charles diary today in the wake of his recent hospital scare. The monarch has been experiencing side effects from his ongoing cancer treatment, which could now see him scale back upcoming engagements. Meanwhile, Prince Harry is back making headlines. A bombshell interview has seen him accused of harassment and bullying by the chair of his charity center Ballet. For more, I'm joined by Sunrise Royal editor Rob Jobson live in London. Good morning. Tell us how much say the doctors have over the King's diary? Is it his call at the end.

Of the day, it's the King's call. But obviously has listened to his doctor who's been working with closely for the last eighteen months or so. You know, this has been going on with this chemotherapy for about over a year now. So the reality is I think that he has to listen to the doctors, but also there's a level of frustration that he's experience and he wants to make sure that he's as active as possible. I was at a palace reception a few days ago and there were hundreds of people around him. It was a big reception, four hundred people, and he was going all around the room. The day before he actually had this turn or this incident, and you know, I just was amazed how many people he was surrounded by, how much work he was doing, how long he was on his feet, and how enclosed he was, you know, how people were surrounding him. I thought it was obviously a little bit too much. But the next day he went to have his treatment. His bloods were right, I'm told, and then he instead of waiting, I think he wanted to continue seeing various ambassadors. He had three ambassadorial appointments that day, and he didn't have a break. He didn't have that break where you're supposed to rest up after the treatment. I think that's when he had his reaction. But yeah, the reality is he does listen to the doctors, but it's his call.

Yeah, and you know it more than most after writing the book on him, our King, So you have an insight, don't you. Do you think he'll go to Italy?

Yeah? I do. I mean, unless there's a real problem on my ability, I think he'll go to Italy. The whole element of the papal visits to the Holy Seas now is now off because that's been canceled, but there'll be more engagements put in for the Italy visit. I think we know for the fact that he was due to go to Romania as well for a private holiday, and he was going to get he was due to go with the Queen Cammilla to an African spot. Didn't go to either of those, so you know, I think flying is an issue, but they've obviously going to monitor it and the state visit is very much up and running at the moment.

And anyone who's been through a chemo and a lot of people know that it is one day at a time. Jobo, thank you very much for your time this morning.
