Buckingham Palace has issued a resolute response to recent health rumors surrounding King Charles, affirming his imminent return to public engagements.
Reported by GB News, the Palace announced that the 75-year-old monarch, diagnosed with cancer two months ago, is set to resume his royal duties after undergoing corrective surgery for an enlarged prostate at The London Clinic in January.
While the specific type of cancer remains undisclosed, the Palace's statement emphasized the King's progress and readiness to re-engage with public responsibilities.
The full statement reads: "His Majesty The King will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis. To mark this milestone, The King and Queen will visit a cancer treatment center next Tuesday, where they will meet medical specialists and patients."
The announcement further stated that the King's treatment program will continue, but his doctors are pleased with the progress made so far, allowing him to resume public engagements. Precautions will be taken to adapt forthcoming engagements as needed to ensure the King's ongoing recovery.
While the duration of the King's cancer treatments remains uncertain, the medical team is optimistic about his continued recovery.
The statement also outlined upcoming engagements, including a State Visit by Their Majesties The Emperor and Empress of Japan in June, as requested by HM Government.
However, the Palace assured that any public-facing engagements will be announced closer to the time and remain subject to doctors' advice, prioritizing the King's health and well-being.
To prevent overexertion, Buckingham Palace will carefully manage the pacing of the King's program in consultation with his medical team, ensuring his continued recovery remains the top priority.
