King Charles to Forego Traditional Easter Lunch Amidst Recovery

King Charles III of the UK will be making his first public appearance since his cancer diagnosis nearly two months ago by attending the Easter Sunday service at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. However, he will forgo the traditional Easter lunch, a change that is part of a broader adaptation of the Royal Family's Easter schedule to safeguard his health. This approach includes a reduction in direct contact with others and hosting fewer guests for engagements. The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children will not be present at the event due to the Princess undergoing preventative chemotherapy.

The King's presence at the service represents a cautious step toward resuming his royal duties, with plans for a gradual increase in activities over the summer. In lieu of the usual post-service reception and family lunch, the King will have the opportunity to greet people outside the chapel, although his interaction will be limited. Inside the chapel, precautions are being taken, such as seating arrangements that keep him and Queen Camilla at a distance from the congregation.

While the King has been focusing on his health and treatment for prostate cancer, he has continued to work remotely as his condition permits. In the meantime, Queen Camila has assumed some of his responsibilities, including participating in the Royal Maundy Service. The Royal Family is also preparing to support Britain's veterans during the upcoming 80th anniversary of D-Day in June.
