According to Buckingham Palace, King Charles III will attend the customary Easter church service on Sunday morning.
This Sunday, Easter Sunday, the royal family will be led by Britain’s King Charles III, who will be making his biggest public appearance since receiving a cancer diagnosis last month.
This week, Buckingham Palace revealed that a few other Windsors will attend the Easter Mattins Service at St. George’s Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle with Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla.
The royal calendar cannot be complete without the occasion, which is typically attended by a large number of family members who are frequently spotted on Easter Sunday strolling together to church. The 75-year-old queen has been listening to medical advice and avoiding public appearances while receiving treatment.
To reduce the risks associated with greater crowds, fewer family members are anticipated to attend the traditional service than usual. In any case, many royal observers will see his presence as a positive indication of his well-being. While he fights illness, the King has continued to conduct his official duties as head of state in a “business as usual” manner. In addition, he has kept a journal of his private audiences.
He welcomed Moldova’s and Burundi’s new ambassadors to Buckingham Palace on Thursday, met with the secretary-general of the Climate Vulnerable Forum on Wednesday, and the day before that he had a meeting with community and religious leaders from all over the United Kingdom. Days after his daughter-in-law, Catherine, Princess of Wales, disclosed she had been diagnosed with cancer as well and requested seclusion to discuss her health with her family, the King’s attendance at the yearly royal gathering was confirmed.
It is unlikely that the five-member royal family will be present on Sunday.
As Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis wrapped up their Easter break from school, Kate made public her health status update.
A spokesman for Buckingham Palace said last Friday that King Charles was “so proud” of Kate for “her courage in speaking as she did” upon disclosing her cancer diagnosis.
Since undergoing treatment at the same London hospital in January, the couple has “remained in the closest contact,” and the King and Queen will “continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time.”
