King Charles has sought to reassure concerned crowds over his heath as he made his first public comeback since receiving a cancer diagnosis. When being asked how his treatment was going, he responded: “I’m alright. Thank you.”
The monarch was joined by Queen Camilla as the pair visted the Macmillan Cancer Centre at the University College Hospital in London. He looked overjoyed to be back at work following a period of two months where he has refrained from carrying out public duties.
His Majesty was given the green-light by doctors to resume work despite still bearing the disease. And today he was seen holding hands and smiling at patients on the chemotherapy ward.
The King and Queen met medical specialists and patients during the visit in a bid to further raise awareness of the importance of an early diagnosis. The King has also been named as Cancer Research UK’s new patron today.
King Charles revealed his diagnosis back in February, and has since been undergoing treatment for his undisclosed form of cancer.
Fans were also delighted to see the King raising awareness of cancer and of his role as patron of Cancer Research UK.
Another X user wrote: “So good to see #KingCharles raising awareness about the importance of early cancer diagnosis.”
Whereas another exclaimed: “How excellent that he’s their new Patron”.
