King Charles was seen in public again today, albeit fleetingly, for the first time since announcing his cancer diagnosis. The sovereign was aboard a royal Bentley with Queen Camilla, after receiving his son Harry who had just arrived from the United States to meet his father at Clarence House, his London residence . Charles and Camilla headed to Buckingham Palace where a helicopter is waiting to take them, according to the Mirror online, to the country residence of Sandringham, in English Norfolk. It is here, from what we have learned, that the king intends to continue the course of treatment for now .
King Charles III spent the night at home in London after starting outpatient treatment for the cancer he was diagnosed with .
Prince William will cover some commitments on behalf of the King . Yesterday Buckingham Palace announced the sovereign's health condition without revealing what type of cancer it is. It is the most difficult hour, therefore, for Prince William, forced to return to the public scene representing the British royal family with the health uncertainties weighing on his father and while his wife Kate has just begun a long convalescence following a abdominal operation of an unspecified nature .
But even for his younger brother Harry , the rebel, the news of his father's illness, defined as "treatable", had an unexpected effect: he spoke to Carlo about his diagnosis and immediately flew to London. He landed at Heathrow airport in the early afternoon and met his father: his wife Meghan and their two young children, Archie and Lillibet, remained in California.
However, it is on the 41-year-old heir to the throne of Saint James that great concerns and greater responsibilities suddenly fall, at least in terms of representation, in the face of the therapies that his father will have to face. Already in the early afternoon the announcement had arrived from Kensington Palace of the resumption of public commitments for William after the break for the operation of his wife Kate, who underwent abdominal surgery at the London Clinic on 16 January and was discharged after 13 days of hospitalization to deal with a convalescence of several months. A return that therefore appears earlier than what had previously been thought, given the prince's desire to be at Kate's side in a moment of long physical recovery for her, also considering the commitment to looking after their three children.
William's first commitments concern an investiture ceremony scheduled for next Wednesday at Windsor Castle and in the evening of the same day the annual fundraising gala of the London Air Ambulance in central London, of which the prince is patron. A return to official activity initially defined as "partial" by the BBC, but which in light of what emerged today regarding Carlo's health is destined to intensify in the coming days and weeks.
