King Charles III reappeared in public this Sunday, March 31, for the first time since February when he announced that he had cancer.
The monarch appeared publicly to attend a mass in St. George’s Church in Windsor Castle, following which he congratulated the citizens on Easter.
Wearing a black coat, the 75-year-old sovereign appeared smiling and waving as he got out of the car with his wife, Queen Camilla, in front of the religious building in Windsor Castle, located fifty kilometers from the British capital.
Sources from Buckingham Palace – the monarch’s official residence in the British capital – indicated that, although this appearance does not mean that the king will resume his public duties, it does intend to signal that his cancer treatment is progressing positively.
This public appearance comes more than a week following Princess Catherine, wife of Prince William, heir to the throne, announced that she also suffers from cancer.
On February 5, the palace announced that Charles III had been diagnosed with an unspecified cancer, discovered following an operation for an enlarged prostate in January, and that he would retire from public life until further notice, although he would maintain his office duties.
However, on several occasions he has gone with his wife to the church of his country residence in Sandringham, which is why his attendance this Sunday at the Anglican religious service for Easter had generated great expectation, waiting to see within what possible his state of health.
Message
At the end of the private mass, both came to greet the public personally.
“Happy Easter” and “I hope you haven’t caught cold” were some of the words that the sovereign shared with the attendees, in addition to collecting a letter that a lady gave him and shaking hands with numerous people from inside and outside the Kingdom. United.
William and Catherine absent from the ceremony
Unlike other members of the royal family, Prince William and his wife Catherine did not attend the religious ceremony.
Days before, on March 22, Catalina announced through a video that she was suffering from cancer and that she was already undergoing cancer treatment.

With Charles III and the princess undergoing treatment, the rest of the royal family must take on the busy official agenda, especially Prince William and Camilla.
However, since these days William remains by his wife’s side, the greatest burden falls on the queen.
