Monarch resumes duties with appearance at Mission Aviation Fellowship anniversary event
King Charles is set to make a significant return to public life this week following a recent health update from Buckingham Palace.
The monarch will mark the 80th anniversary of the Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) on Thursday. The humanitarian air service operates across 14,000 remote destinations, delivering vital aid and support to isolated communities around the world.
News of the King's upcoming appearance comes after a brief hospital visit last week, prompted by side effects from his ongoing cancer treatment. Following a restful weekend at Highgrove, royal expert Rebecca English confirmed on X that the King had resumed work at Windsor Castle and is preparing for a “typical working week.”
“There are one or two minor tweaks to the diary, but otherwise a mix of investitures, meetings, credentials and public engagements—all ahead of a state visit to Italy on Monday,” she shared.
Buckingham Palace previously stated that while King Charles experienced treatment-related complications, his recovery remains on a positive trajectory. Palace aides described his hospitalisation as a minor “bump in the road.”
The King’s steady return to royal duties offers reassurance to supporters and signals his continued dedication to service amid ongoing health challenges.
