King Charles III made a significant public appearance at the traditional Easter Mattins church service in Windsor on Sunday, marking his first outing since his cancer diagnosis last month. Accompanied by Queen Camilla, the 75-year-old monarch arrived at St. George’s Chapel in good spirits, waving to well-wishers before the service.

The royal couple sat apart from the main congregation during the one-hour service, with fewer royals in attendance to minimize contact due to the King's ongoing treatment. Following the service, Camilla was presented with flowers as they departed the chapel.

Despite his health challenges, King Charles III has continued to fulfill his duties, handling state business and official paperwork while maintaining private audiences and meetings with dignitaries. He recently reassured the nation of his commitment to serving with his whole heart in a recorded message for the Royal Maundy service.

Meanwhile, the Prince and Princess of Wales were notably absent from the Easter festivities as they spend time together following Kate's cancer diagnosis and ongoing treatment. The couple expressed gratitude for the public's support and understanding of their need for privacy during this challenging time.

Prince William is expected to resume public engagements in mid-April once their children return to school. The royal family continues to navigate these personal challenges while fulfilling their public responsibilities.
