King Charles visits cancer center as monarch returns to public duties following diagnosis

King Charles III has returned to public-facing royal duties for the first time since Buckingham Palace announced his cancer diagnosis in February. On Tuesday, the 75-year-old visited the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre where he met with medical specialists and patients. The British monarch was joined by his wife, Queen Camilla.

Upon arrival, the duo waved and greeted bystanders before entering the medical facility. At one point, the king greeted a young admirer who welcomed him with a small bouquet of flowers. It’s understood that the cancer center has not been directly involved with the king’s medical care, People magazine reported.

As the first anniversary of The Coronation approaches, Their Majesties remain deeply grateful for the many kindnesses and good wishes they have received from around the world throughout the joys and challenges of the past year,' the statement concluded. The news came after the monarch took a three-month break following his cancer diagnosis.

In a video shared in March, Kate Middleton revealed that she, too, is battling a form of cancer, and has been undergoing preventative chemotherapy treatment. The Princess of Wales, 42, is still taking a break from royal duties as she recovers. Her husband, Prince William, who is heir to the throne, took time off to look after their three children. The eldest son of the king has since resumed royal duties. Fox News Digital's Emily Trainham and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
