Prince of Wales Appoints Ian Patrick as Private Secretary Amid Royal Duties Resumption

As the Prince of Wales resumes his royal responsibilities following his father's cancer diagnosis, Ian Patrick, a former diplomat, joins the team to support the expanding public duties.

Ian Patrick, with a background in international diplomacy and peacekeeping, is appointed as the private secretary to the Prince of Wales.
The appointment comes as Prince William resumes royal duties after a break due to his father, King Charles III's cancer diagnosis, and the Princess of Wales's abdominal surgery.
Patrick's experience includes working for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and as a trustee for Crohn's and Colitis UK.
The restructuring of the Kensington Palace team aims to bolster support for the Prince and Princess of Wales as they take on more public responsibilities.
King Charles III is receiving treatment for an unspecified cancer, with the royal family continuing their duties and expressing gratitude for public support.
