His appearance during the Easter holidays was particularly anticipated. Especially since his son Prince William and his daughter-in-law Kate Middleton did not join the royal family this year. King Charles III was present at Easter Mass, celebrated in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle this Sunday, March 31. And despite his cancer, Queen Camilla’s husband – she accompanied him – was very smiling. As if resuming “a normal life” would do him the greatest good.
However, King Charles III could be forced to cancel his next visit to France. Indeed, it was agreed that he would come to French soil again – after his visit in September – on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Landing on June 6. Queen Camilla could replace him if doctors recommend Elizabeth II’s son to stay in the United Kingdom. According to the Daily Mail, it is not excluded that the king is sufficiently fit to go to Normandy. But preparations are also underway for the Queen to go in her place. Also expected on this occasion at Omaha Beach are the American President, Joe Biden, the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, and the French President, Emmanuel Macron.

Charles III should return to an active life
After much of the winter spent treating himself after the discovery of his cancer in January, King Charles III appeared in good shape during Easter mass. While the King wishes to attend the D-Day anniversary, the event also holds personal significance for Queen Camilla, as her father, Major Bruce Shand, was a decorated war hero, who served in World War II . Prince William, who holds several positions in the armed forces and completed seven and a half years of military service, will also likely take part in the commemorations. No specific plan has, for the moment, been confirmed, since it will depend on the state of health of his wife, Kate Middleton, who recently announced that she too has cancer. King Charles III can count on his family to take over while he receives treatment, particularly Camilla. Sources have also declared that the monarch was “very proud of her” and he thought she was doing “great job”. Depending on his state of form, Prince William’s father could resume some outdoor engagements in the coming months and participate in the famous Trooping the Color on June 15.
