Queen Camilla and King Charles have a strong bond with a holistic healer amid the monarch’s cancer treatment.
The King and Queen have regularly visited His Majesty’s health adviser’s resort in Bangalore, most recently on their 35-hour return journey from the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa.
Dr Issac Mathai, who has advised the King on his health for years, runs the £3,000 a week, Soukya resort in Bangalore.
Dr Issac, 64, described the royal’s recent trip as “the perfect tonic” for the King amid his battle with cancer.

He said: “We interact and do what is necessary to maintain their health and wellness.
“The King likes it as it reminds him of an English garden.”
Dr Issac now does “medical consultations” with the couple a few times a year, either in London or during visits to Bangalore.
He first met with King Charles in 2002 when Dr Issac worked with the British Holistic Medical Association, for which the King was a patron.

Dr Issac described Queen Camilla and King Charles as “the least demanding of my guests”.
King Charles, who paused his cancer treatment during his successful nine-day royal tour of Australia and Samoa, is expected to resume the weekly treatment on his return to the UK.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: “Their Majesties had a short private stopover in India to help break the long journey back from Samoa.”
He and his wife, Dr Suja Issac, established the Soukya Centre in 2002 after practising in London for 10 years.
