The couple were seen smiling and waving as they entered the church in the grounds of Windsor Castle. When someone from a group of onlookers shouted “Happy Easter!” shouted, the king replied: “You too!”
Charles wore a dark coat and a blue tie. Camilla arrived in a mostly green outfit with a hat. The couple had traveled the short distance from their rooms in the castle to the chapel in the forecourt in a limousine. After a brief greeting from the clergy, the two went into the church. It was Charles’ first major public appearance since his cancer diagnosis was announced in February.
Other royals such as Charles’ sister, Princess Anne (73), had already arrived. Heir to the throne Prince William (41), his wife Princess Kate (42) and their children did not take part in the service. Kate recently announced that she also had cancer and was now receiving preventive chemotherapy.
