British King Charles III. returned to his public duties for the first time since his February cancer diagnosis. He visited a medical facility in London that specializes in the treatment of oncological diseases. Reuters reports that the 75-year-old monarch, who was accompanied by Queen Camilla, was smiling and looking healthy.
Charles III suffers from an unspecified form of cancer and is undergoing treatment that has limited him to duties that do not involve public appearances since February. But at the end of March, for example, he attended the Easter service.
Buckingham Palace announced last week that the king would return to his duties. But the public program will be limited to minimize the risk of health complications. In June, for example, he should take part in commemorative events on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings, and he should also host the Japanese imperial couple on a state visit. According to British media, the king’s announcement does not mean he will fully return to public speaking – it is more of a “positive signal”.
Another member of the highest circles of the British royal family, Princess Kate, the wife of the heir to the throne, Prince William, is also being treated for cancer. After weeks of speculation, Kate revealed in March that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy following abdominal surgery in January.
