King Charles, aged 75, recently returned to royal duties despite undergoing treatment for cancer. The monarch, who had been diagnosed with cancer while being treated for a benign enlarged prostate, met with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at Buckingham Palace. This face-to-face audience marked the first since the King's cancer diagnosis.
Despite his health challenges, King Charles has been actively involved in state affairs, albeit mostly behind the scenes. A recent phone call between the King and Sunak was more of a casual catch-up, contrasting with their traditional weekly formal audiences.
