LONDON — King Charles III has arrived at the Easter Sunday service at the chapel in Windsor Castle — his first major event since he was diagnosed with cancer in February.
Charles, 75, was accompanied by Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family at the Gothic-style St. George’s Chapel for the traditional annual engagement.
The king’s public appearance will provide a timely boost to the royal family, which has been beset by illness and media speculation. But the absence of Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales, after the revelation of her own cancer diagnosis offered a reminder that the royal ranks remain depleted.
Charles is undergoing regular treatment and has stepped back from public engagements on medical advice, though he has continued to carry out many of his duties behind closed doors.
Officials have not disclosed what form or stage of cancer he has.
