It was announced in February that the King had been found to have cancer
King Charles is set to return to public duties just months after being diagnosed with cancer. In a statement issued on Friday Buckingham Palace said treatment for the disease had seen " a positive effect".
Kate announced she was undergoing a course of preventative treatment for cancer in a video last month. She had undergone major abdominal surgery in January and had been due back to work after Easter however her subsequent diagnosis has meant this was delayed. The spokesperson added: “His Majesty’s treatment programme will continue, but doctors are sufficiently pleased with the progress made so far that the King is now able to resume a number of public-facing duties. Forthcoming engagements will be adapted where necessary to minimise any risks to His Majesty’s continued recovery.”
To mark the development Buckingham Palace said Charles and Camilla will visit a cancer treatment centre on Tuesday to meet medical specialists and patients. A picture marking the first anniversary of the crowning of the King and Queen on May 6 has been released, taken the day after their 19th wedding anniversary on April 10.
“This visit will be the first in a number of external engagements His Majesty will undertake in the weeks ahead. In addition, The King and Queen will host Their Majesties The Emperor and Empress of Japan for a state visit in June, at the request of HM Government.
