King Charles to resume public duties after cancer diagnosis 

King Charles III is going to resume public duties “after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis,” Buckingham Palace said in a Friday statement. 

Charles will make his first public appearance next week at a cancer treatment center after his cancer was discovered during a hospital stay in early February. 

“The King and Queen will make a joint visit to a cancer treatment centre next Tuesday, where they will meet medical specialists and patients,” Buckingham Palace said. 

“This visit will be the first in a number of external engagements His Majesty will undertake in the weeks ahead,” it added.

The king and the queen will also meet with Japan’s emperor and empress in June, per the U.K.’s government request, according to the statement. 

“As the first anniversary of The Coronation approaches, Their Majesties remain deeply grateful for the many kindnesses and good wishes they have received from around the world throughout the joys and challenges of the past year,” Buckingham Palace said.
