Britain's King Charles will attend Easter Sunday service at St George's Chapel in Windsor, in what will be his first public appearance at a traditional royal event since his cancer diagnosis was revealed in February.
Buckingham Palace announced on Tuesday (26) that Charles, 75, and his wife, Queen Camilla, will attend church on March 31.
The announcement came days after Kate, the Princess of Wales and the king's daughter-in-law, said she had also been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing preventive chemotherapy.
This year's Easter service will be smaller in scale due to the king's health, Buckingham Palace said.
Kate and her husband, heir to the throne Prince William, will not attend, as had already been announced by her office.
Since his cancer diagnosis, Charles has reduced his public appearances while he receives treatment. He did not attend Commonwealth Day celebrations in early March, a notable absence on an important occasion in the British monarchy's annual calendar.
The king appears to be gradually intensifying his public engagements.
On Tuesday (26), he met, at Buckingham Palace, with religious leaders who were part of a program aimed at promoting harmony and sharing leadership experiences at a time of heightened geopolitical tensions.
The confirmation that he will attend church on Sunday followed reports that Charles was finding the pace of his recovery frustrating, according to his nephew Peter Phillips.
