The British sovereign resumed his duties after weeks of absence due to his cancer diagnosis. He was accompanied by his wife, Queen Camilla, some members of the royal family and a crowd of people waiting to greet him.
King Charles III of England was greeted by a crowd last Sunday as he attended the Easter religious ceremony at St. George's Chapel in west London. This reassuring appearance comes two months after he publicly announced that he is battling cancer.
The sovereign, 75, wore a black coat while smiling and waving as he got out of the car with his wife, Queen Camilla, in front of the church at Windsor Castle, located fifty kilometers from the British capital. . The queen attended wearing black boots, a green dress and a hat that complemented her outfit.
The couple left the temple an hour later and approached to greet the public, where Camila received a bouquet of flowers. Afterwards, the monarchs boarded the royal Bentley, with large windows, and left. As had been announced, Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, who has just revealed that she also suffers from cancer, did not attend the ceremony.
Kate Middleton announced that she has cancer
The public appearance of Charles III at the traditional Easter mass comes more than a week after Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William, heir to the throne, announced that she suffers from cancer. Unlike other members of the royal family, the couple and their children were not present at the event.
On Friday, March 22, the Princess of Wales revealed that she was also battling cancer, without specifying the nature of it, and that she had begun chemotherapy. Prince William's wife shared that she is in the early stages of treatment and that receiving the news "was a huge shock."
In a video published by the official accounts of Kensington Palace, Middleton appears sitting on a dark wooden bench, with a garden in the background, dressing casually in blue jeans and a white sweater with black stripes. She thanked them for the "wonderful messages of support" she has received since her abdominal surgery in January.
"It has been an incredibly difficult time for our entire family, but I have had a fantastic medical team taking care of me, which I am very grateful for," she added. She also shared that, initially, "my condition was thought to be non-cancerous" when she underwent surgery. "The operation was successful. However, subsequent tests found that there was cancer," she explained.
