King Charles attends Easter Sunday church service
Britain's King Charles III , followed by Britain's Queen Camilla , reacts as he leaves St. George's Chapel, in Windsor Castle, after attending the Easter Mattins Service, on March 31, 2024.Britain's King Charles III made his most high-profile public appearance since revealing a cancer diagnosis earlier this year.Attending the annual religious ceremony is a long-standing annual tradition for the royals.
The 75-year-old, dressed in a suit and light blue tie, smiled and waved to crowds -- who had queued up for hours for a glimpse of the ailing monarch -- before he entered the chapel. But heir-to-the-throne Prince William and his wife Catherine were notable absentees this year, as the 42-year-old Princess of Wales receives treatment following her own cancer diagnosis which was revealed just last week.
He had been admitted for surgery for a benign prostate condition in January but was subsequently diagnosed with an unrelated cancer. The type of cancer has not been disclosed. Charles said in a statement earlier this month that he would continue to serve"to the best of my ability", and he had been"deeply touched" by people's wishes for his health.
