LONDON (AP) — King Charles III is back.
BYThe 75-year-old monarch will resume some public duties next week following a three-month break to focus on his treatment and recuperation after he was diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer, Buckingham Palace said Friday.
The palace said the king's doctors are “very encouraged” by his progress, though it is too early to say how long his treatment will last. It didn't provide details about what type of treatment he is receiving. Charles’ return will relieve pressure on other members of the royal family after the king’s absence, coupled with that of the Princess of Wales, also due to illness, highlighted the challenges faced by a slimmed down monarchy.
That left Queen Camilla, the king’s sister Princess Anne and his younger brother, Prince Edward, to shoulder the load. Charles' challenges include strengthening ties to the Commonwealth and the 14 independent countries outside the United Kingdom where the British monarch is still head of state, an unwelcome reminder to some people of Britain’s colonial history.
Charles' engagements over the coming months will be adapted as needed to minimize any risks to his recovery, the palace said. He won't have a full summer program, and his attendance will be determined closer to the time of each event and with the advice of his doctors.
