"Encouraged" by doctors

King Charles III returns to the public eye

King Charles will resume public appointments. This was announced by the palace on Friday.

The British King Charles III will return to public life following positive results from his cancer treatment. Although treatment is ongoing, his doctors are "sufficiently satisfied with the progress made that the King can now resume a number of public duties".

Charles' first appointment in the coming week is reportedly a planned visit with his wife Camilla (76) to a cancer treatment center on Tuesday, where a meeting with doctors and patients is planned.

The Japanese imperial couple are due to visit at the end of June and will be received by Charles and Camilla at Buckingham Palace.

Charles is "extremely encouraged to resume some public duties and is very grateful to his medical team for their continued care and expertise", a palace spokesman said.

Progress "very encouraging"
 It is unclear how long the treatment will need to continue, but the progress so far is "very encouraging" and the doctors are positive.

On March 22, Charles' daughter-in-law Princess Catherine also announced that she had cancer. Prince William, Charles III's eldest son, temporarily withdrew from the public eye due to his wife's illness. Just over a week ago, however, the Crown Prince returned to his official duties.
