King Charles will attend Easter service, providing a glimpse of the monarch after cancer diagnosis

Published March 31, 2024 3:16 AM

LONDON (AP) — King Charles III is expected to join the queen and other members of the royal family for an Easter service at Windsor Castle in what will be his most significant public appearance since he was diagnosed with cancer last month. The appearance of the 75-year-old monarch is seen as an effort to reassure the public after Charles stepped back from public duties following an announcement by Buckingham Palace in early February that he was undergoing treatment for an unspecified type of cancer. The Sunday service itself will be smaller than usual as Kate, the Princess of Wales, is also being treated for cancer and has paused public duties.
