Kate Middleton and William already knew the latest about King Charles III

King Charles III has been very active lately, participating in several public events that have captured the attention of his followers. Last Saturday, he attended the Royal Windsor Horse Show, and just two days later, he was at the Chelsea Flower Show, where he met former footballer David Beckham. On both occasions, the monarch looked impeccable and had a jovial demeanor, but one detail in particular caught attention: the use of a cane.

The cane at the Royal Windsor Horse Show and Chelsea Flower Show

At the equestrian event of the Royal Windsor Horse Show, Charles III appeared with a cane, characterized by a crook-shaped handle, which drew attention. Later, the king attended the Chelsea Flower Show, an event his mother, the late Elizabeth II, adored and which is held every May. At it, the king could be seen using a cane made from a royal branch, in honor of his fondness for gardening.

These appearances sparked speculation about whether the cane was a walking aid or an ornamental accessory.

Royal canes and the symbolism behind them

It is not the first time Charles III has used a cane in public. By analyzing old photos, it is observed that the cane has always reached his chest. This suggests that more than a support, it is a personal style element.

Additionally, close sources have reassured followers by stating that the cane is a traditional country fair accessory, not a medical tool. This differentiates it from the cane used by his mother, who needed it for mobility reasons.

The importance of the cane's height

For those who do use a cane for support, the correct height is key to avoiding discomfort. The Blue Badge Co., a specialist in accessories for people with disabilities, explains that "the top of the cane's handle should be the same height as the wrist bone." A cane with incorrect height can cause back, shoulder, and joint pain, something the king can't afford due to his busy schedule.

Proper use and precautions

This manufacturer also points out that a cane can help relieve pressure on joints and improve balance, but if used improperly, it can increase the risk of falls and injuries. Since the canes Charles III has used recently appear ornamental, there is no reason to worry about his health. For now, it seems the king only uses this accessory as a symbol of style and tradition.
