Nonetheless, CNN understands that it wasn\u2019t a deliberate orchestration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing the future monarch in the company of other heads of state is a powerful visual and speaks to the longer transition which will prepare the public for King William V\u2019s reign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>King Charles also only recently returned to public engagements after getting the green light from his doctors who were \u201cencouraged\u201d by his progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is continuing to receive treatment and each engagement the 75-year-old sovereign carries out is being reviewed and adapted where necessary by his medical team to ensure his continued recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That simple reason of following medical advice appears to be behind the King\u2019s absence at the international commemoration on Thursday afternoon. A royal source told CNN that it was considered a step too far at this stage but that the monarch was delighted the Prince of Wales was representing the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>William, 42, has been an ever-present fixture as the royal family marked the D-Day anniversary in recent days.
