.....for the first time since being diagnosed with cancer.

His Majesty is not yet clear of the disease and is still undergoing treatment, but his medical team are understood to be ‘pleased with the progress made so far’ and ‘remain positive’ about his recovery.

To mark the good news Buckingham Palace has announced two major milestone events, the first of many in the coming months, and passed on Their Majesties grateful thanks for all the good wishes they have received.

After his cancer diagnosis was announced on February 6, the King postponed all public-facing engagement but continued with his duties as head of state behind palace walls, conducting audiences and Privy Council meetings.

But on Tuesday the King and Queen will visit a cancer treatment centre - a deeply poignant engagement given his own cancer battle as well as that of his daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales - where they will meet medical specialists and patients. The royal event aims to raise awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and highlight innovative research, supported by Cancer Research UK, taking place at the hospital.

There are also plans to host an incoming state visit by The Emperor and Empress of Japan in late June at the request of the government.

Officials have also released a beautiful new portrait of Charles, 75, and Camilla, 76, looking happy and relaxed in Buckingham Palace Gardens. The image was taken on April 10 - the day after their 19th wedding anniversary.

In a statement Buckingham Palace said tonight: ‘His Majesty The King will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis.

Major boost for King Charles in his cancer battle
 

Off topic I know but, if I may ask ?

To our Brit/UK friends. How do you all feel about Camila now ? I know Diana was [as I understand it] much loved. It has been what ? 3 decades now since she died, and I was just wondering ?

Over here, we were sort of [against] Camila as his new wife, so as I said .... just curious ?
 

I'm really nosy about what the UK folks feel about Harry/Meghan. The fact that Harry made all his "family problems" public was IMO a serious no-no. Even if everything was true, you just don't bring that stuff out in public - especially in his situation. But he allowed himself to be putty in Meghan's hands, and that is so sad.

Camila (from all I've read) turned out to be pretty good. Like it or not, she was with Charles before Diana entered the picture, and once Diana had a couple of boys, he/they didn't need her anymore. That said, she was one super bright light for the royalty and the country!

Hope none of the above offended anyone, I did not mean to do so.

No offence taken..the short answer is that most of the people in the UK have zero time for Harry now, and even less for the scheming, lying witch he married.....

As for Camilla... people have short memories.. she caused Diana untold Misery while she and Charles were married.. using the fact that she was his g/f before he married Diana is no excuse.. she was not in love with Charles.. she married his friend instead.. but then when he was married to Diana she decided she wanted to have an affair with him, while SHE was married and while he was married and had 2 small children.... she could have waited until, he got a divorce or until the children were grown.. whichever came first. he was clearly unhappy with Diana.. but he should never have humiliated her in public with a side-piece..

The Palace through the media have turned CPB into a veritable saint... she was a cheap whore , in fact
 
Thank you! I do agree, and I thank you for your bluntness.

I come from a family (1/2 Italian) where family loyalty is always first. And Harry dumped his family, and now it looks like he is dumping the UK (to live here in America). And, if I may go out on a limb, I do believe he and whatshername contributed greatly to making Queen Elizabeth's last years very difficult, likely shortening her time. That alone, I would not forgive.

Couldn't agree more..
 
Harry and Megan decided Britian really doesn't need them. Harry gave his duty to Britain in Iraq / middle east.
The Throne future is decided. Why shouldn't he have his life fairly free of the Royalty's crap. Course I'm American.
We do as we please. HAHA not always but usually. I guess learning by mistake is a great tool. Remember the King
who came to the USA to be with his love. King of England, King of England, I't the king of england. haha
Most all Royals are very wealthy. Did the Brixit make them wealthier?
 
Just finished “Endgame” by Omid Scobie,book about British Royals covering time between death of Queen until just prior to announcements of illnesses of Charles and Catherine. Author was friend of Harry and Megan so slanted in their direction but a lot of interesting gossipy info about all.

Omid Scobie... in this country is nicknamed Scabie... he's as full of BS as the gruesome twosome
 
Great news that King Charles is on the mend and well enough to resume his duties!

Off topic, but I was fortunate enough to be in London for a conference within a few days after Diana died. We visited Kensington Palace and the flowers, drawings, poems, etc. left outside were truly remarkable. It was one of the those times in my life that I will never forget. She was truly beloved, and for good reason.

As an American, Camilla is "meh" to me, but at least she makes Charles happy.

I've always liked Camilla. She has been given a rough time by the newspapers and the general public. At least he has the love of his life supporting him and they both look so happy.
 
That is a lovely photo.

I don't really care about any of the Royals - but I d o think people need to move past ' Camilla hate'

I don't think she is a veritable saint - nor was Diana.

Nor is anybody.

I dont think she is a cheap whore either though ,that seems OTT.
 
Firstly, Welcome back Charles, here's hoping for many years ahead.

Camilla? A pretender to the throne. I don't think I'll ever be able to warm to her.
 
She's Charles warmest choice though?? and what the King wants he can usually have? however insulting the crown in UK is now permissible as the crime "lese majeste" - is no longer applicable - mind you I wonder whether you can still be taken to court and pay compensation for defamation of character?? - Hmmm?
