Buckingham Palace has announced that King Charles III is expected to resume his public engagements soon, following his cancer diagnosis earlier in 2024.
According to palace officials, the King’s medical team is satisfied with his progress and treatment so far.
In a sign of his impending return to duties, King Charles and Queen Camilla are scheduled to visit a cancer treatment center together next week, and preparations are underway for a state visit from Japanese Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako in June.
The King has been on a greatly reduced royal workload since his diagnosis in February and will continue to undergo treatment.
The Palace said:
“His Majesty The King will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis.
“To help mark this milestone, The King and Queen will make a joint visit to a cancer treatment centre next Tuesday, where they will meet medical specialists and patients. This visit will be the first in a number of external engagements His Majesty will undertake in the weeks ahead.
“In addition, The King and Queen will host Their Majesties The Emperor and Empress of Japan for a State Visit in June, at the request of HM Government.”
