King Charles III is set to attend the traditional Easter Church Service at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, this Sunday, the Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
This appearance marks his most visible public engagement since the announcement of his cancer diagnosis, highlighting a period of unprecedented challenges for the British monarchy.
Accompanying him will be Queen Camilla, as the royal family upholds its longstanding Easter tradition.
The news follows the recent revelation that Catherine, Princess of Wales, is also undergoing cancer treatment, casting a shadow of concern over the royal household.
Princess Catherine, aged 42 and wife to Prince William, King Charles’ firstborn and the heir to the throne, is facing her health battle with commendable fortitude.
Known affectionately as Kate, her diagnosis adds to the monarchy’s current trials, with two of its senior figures simultaneously grappling with serious health issues.
King Charles, 75, had his cancer diagnosis publicly disclosed by Buckingham Palace earlier this year, a development that came 17 months into his reign.
Despite a prior surgery for a benign prostate condition in January, it was later revealed he was battling an undisclosed type of cancer.
The King had since taken a step back from public-facing roles to focus more on his treatment and recovery.
However, King Charles has maintained his dedication to royal duties by engaging in behind-the-scenes work, and gradually resuming official engagements.
Notably, on Tuesday, he was photographed at Buckingham Palace hosting community and faith leaders, demonstrating his commitment to continue serving “to the best of his ability.”
The King has also been active in praising Princess Catherine’s bravery as she navigates her treatment, expressing being “deeply touched” by the support and well-wishes received from the public.
