King honours medical staff for personal service during his cancer treatment Dr Douglas Glass, Charles’ GP and the apothecary to the King, and Professor Richard Leach, his physician, have both been recognised.
King Charles has personally honoured his senior medical staff who treated him for cancer for their personal service to the monarch and the royal family.
Prof Leach, a consultant physician at the King Edward VII’s Hospital in central London - where the royals have been treated for decades - was made Lieutenant of the RVO.
RVO awards are issued without advice from the Prime Minister and recognise services to the sovereign and the royal family, often those who have served the monarch in a personal way.
The king continued nearly full duties while he was being treated by his medical team, while Kate is currently making a gradual return to her public engagements.
