Sorry but shaking hands with a few people is being lauded on the news like he is some saviour , like i said loads of people do proper jobs whilst having chemo , a job is not shaking hands with people for the cameraHe's 75 and being treated for cancer, I think he's done really well to go out and meet people. What work is a poorly 75 year old expected to do that would satisfy you?

It's a self grandiose gesture. Fake solidarity with the people who don't get the same access to the best cancer drugs and treatments he has.

If any of the other patients got any kind of lift from meeting him, then it’s a positive, whatever you think of the monarchy.I agree.

It‘s similar to football clubs visiting children’s hospitals near Xmas every year. The players probably don’t call it work though.

Silly comment . If it brings a bit of happiness to people, which it clearly does, why is it a bad thing?Vine said the king shaking hands with people with cancer is the same as diana hugging and touching aids patients , jesus christ !
People have proper jobs which they do whilst having chemo , shaking a few hands is not work

When Charles visited my school in the early 90s, every book in the library was checked twice.

The difference is those players actually do work when they're not visiting children's hospitals.If any of the other patients got any kind of lift from meeting him, then it’s a positive, whatever you think of the monarchy.

Agreed.
I'm not a fan of the royals myself,but even I'm willing to give them a break on this.
At least he's showing his face and expressing a bit of solidarity with others with this horrible disease.
