According to a royal source, King Charles plans to showcase the unity of his family and reassure the public. Buckingham Palace has confirmed that, health permitting, the King will make a public appearance at the annual Easter mass held at St. George's Chapel in Windsor next Sunday. It is a significant step as King Charles had previously scaled back his public duties after being diagnosed with cancer following treatment for an enlarged prostate.
The annual Easter church service will proceed as scheduled, although Prince William is not expected to attend as he spends time with Princess Kate and their children at their Norfolk home. The family has been grappling with turmoil ever since King Charles and Princess Kate received their cancer diagnoses. Kate's shocking announcement came in a two-minute video released on Friday evening, where she revealed her ongoing preventive chemotherapy after doctors discovered the cancer during abdominal surgery in January.
While there is no specific timeline for Kate's return to public duties, it is expected to be several months. During this challenging time, King Charles is offering tremendous support to Kate. A spokesperson from Buckingham Palace expressed the King's pride in Catherine and emphasized that he has maintained close contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past few weeks.
A royal source revealed to The Mirror that King Charles has been in touch with Princess Kate since her hospital admission in January and continues to offer support during her cancer treatment. The source further stated that the King is resolute in demonstrating his family's unity and providing reassurance to the public and the wider world about the stability of the monarchy, despite the current turbulent period.
Though King Charles hopes to lead the Easter mass, a final decision will be made on the day itself. It's important to note that King Charles has also reduced his public duties and is undergoing private treatment while facing his own health challenges.
