King Charles occasionally sleeps separately from Queen Camilla due to a little-known health condition that disrupts his breathing during the night, a royal author has revealed.<\/p>\n
In his newly published book The Windsor Legacy: A Royal Dynasty<\/em>, author Robert Jobson disclosed that the King battles \u201cdraining sleep apnoea.\u201d<\/p>\n The writer also revealed that the monarch now relies on a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine to keep his airways open and prevent interruptions in breathing.<\/p>\n Sleep apnoea, a disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops during sleep, can cause severe fatigue, poor concentration, and other health complications if left untreated.<\/p>\n Charles\u2019s struggle with exhaustion was previously highlighted by Prince Harry<\/a> in the 2018 BBC<\/a> documentary Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70<\/em>, when he revealed that his father would occasionally nod off at his desk with papers stuck to his face due to tiredness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Mr Jobson also documented that the monarch now uses a CPAP machine to keep his airways open and prevent breathing disruptions.<\/p>\n \u201cCharles\u2019s life and energy levels improved dramatically after he started using a CPAP machine, which was introduced to him by former US Vice President Al Gore during a visit to Highgrove, to treat the condition in which breathing repeatedly stops during sleep, causing fatigue and poor concentration,\u201d Mr Jobson wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cHe now swears by the device that delivers steady air pressure to keep airways open, preventing disruptions. Although it does mean that Charles and Camilla sometimes sleep apart.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite his health struggles, Charles has continued to maintain a packed schedule of engagements.<\/p>\n According to the book, King Charles often jokes with friends that he has reached a \u201cworryingly decrepit stage\u201d of life and describes it as a \u201cconglomerated miasma\u201d of turmoil and mayhem, though those around him recognise there is a serious concern beneath the humour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Sleep apnoea is common among older adults and, if left untreated, can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and daytime fatigue.<\/p>\n Charles\u2019s openness about the condition highlights a health issue that affects millions, while also showing how even a sovereign must sometimes make personal adjustments for the sake of their wellbeing.<\/p>\n King Charles\u2019s health has recently caused concern after it was revealed he was diagnosed with an unspecified type of cancer in February 2024, beginning treatment shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n The King stepped back from public engagements in the weeks following the announcement but continued his constitutional duties as head of state, handling official documents and holding private audiences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He resumed public engagements at the end of April 2025, visiting a cancer treatment centre with Camilla. The NHS advises that lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, quitting smoking, and reducing alcohol consumption, can sometimes help alleviate sleep apnoea.<\/p>\n For more information, visit the NHS website.<\/p>\n When approached by the Mirror<\/em> for comment, Buckingham Palace declined to respond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.express.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" King Charles occasionally sleeps separately from Queen Camilla due to a little-known health condition that disrupts his breathing during the night, a royal author has revealed.
