Despite undergoing cancer treatment that prevented his attendance at the Maundy Thursday service, King Charles III is determined to join the nation for Easter service this Sunday, taking a calculated risk for both his family and his people.
At 75 years old, the monarch will be seated separately from the main congregation, adhering to medical advice to safeguard his health, as reported recently. This arrangement is deemed "appropriate" for King Charles' current health condition, allowing him to participate while minimizing potential health risks.
A palace insider described the King's intention to attend as a "positive indication of his improving health," according to The Telegraph. However, the King will not be participating in any post-service gatherings or hosting a lunch, as confirmed by the same source.
This Easter Sunday service is anticipated to be King Charles' most significant public appearance since his cancer diagnosis in February. Buckingham Palace has announced that the King and Queen will be accompanied by various other members of the Windsor family at St. George’s Chapel, located within the castle grounds.
Traditionally, this event witnesses multiple royal family members walking together to the church on Easter Sunday, warmly greeting the crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of them.
While Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children are not expected to partake in the Easter royal festivities, they might release a statement to commemorate the occasion.
