The king is back. Tuesday April 30, 2024, Charles III resumed his public activities in London, after three months of absence linked to the treatment of his cancer. For his first visit, the sovereign decided to go to a specialized center against cancer. Quite a symbol that he wanted to share with Queen Camilla. With tears in his eyes, he greeted the doctors, but also the crowd who had come to meet the king. During a meeting with cancer patients, William and Harry’s father spoke about his state of health. “I am well, thank you very muchnot too bad”, he replied. To raise public awareness about cancer, Charles III stayed for around forty minutes at the Macmillan Center at University College Hospital. This visit was announced by Buckingham Palace on Friday April 26, 2024. Charles III would thus resume a “a certain number of commitments, “carefully calibrated”, in “close consultation with his doctors”.
A closely monitored visit
A strong gesture sent to the population. The king’s doctors are also “very encouraged by the progress made so far and remain optimistic about the continued recovery of the king”, the palace specified in its press release. In the rest of the program, Charles III and Camilla will receive Emperor Naruhito of Japan and his wife, Empress Masako, for a state visit in June 2024. Other commitments, such as the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings, will be taken according to the advice of doctors. As a reminder, Buckingham announced at the beginning of February that the sovereign was suffering from cancer, discovered after a prostate operation in January. A theme at the heart of the royal family. Indeed, Kate Middleton also announced that she had cancer. A new shock wave for the country, which occurs a few weeks after the doctored photo scandal. Since then, the mother of George, Charlotte and Louis has followed her treatment discreetly. To the greatest pleasure of the English, Monday April 29, 2024, Prince William and Kate Middleton celebrated their thirteenth wedding anniversary.
