King Charles Honors Medical Team for Service

King Charles III has honored two senior members of his medical team, Dr. Douglas Glass and Professor Richard Leach, for their personal service during his ongoing cancer treatment. Dr. Glass, the King's GP and former apothecary to Queen Elizabeth II, has been promoted to Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (RVO), while Professor Leach has been appointed as a Lieutenant of the RVO. Both honors come after King Charles and Princess Catherine were diagnosed with cancer this year, with Charles continuing to fulfill most of his royal duties. The RVO awards are granted independently by the King to recognize those who have served the monarchy personally. Additionally, other individuals associated with the royal family, including Dame Annabel Whitehead, received honors during this ceremony. Princess Catherine is gradually returning to public engagements following her chemotherapy treatment.
