King Charles III went back to work on Tuesday and visited a charity that helps people with cancer. This was the start of his comeback after being sick with cancer for three months.
The king will attend his first public event since February 6, when Buckingham Palace said he would take a break from public duties to focus on his treatment for an undisclosed cancer.
Charles will be making several public appearances in the coming weeks. This is because he is getting ready to host a visit from the emperor and empress of Japan in June.
It is not known how many of the usual royal events happening in the summer, like the king’s birthday parade and horse racing at Royal Ascot, Charles will go to while he is getting treatment. Last week, the palace said that the doctors were happy with the king’s progress. His schedule will be changed if necessary to help him recover.
Currently, appearing on Tuesday gives Charles another chance to tell people about the importance of finding and treating cancer and other health issues early. He has been doing this throughout his illness.
Unlike other kings and queens before him, Charles decided to tell people about his health when he first got treatment for a problem with his prostate, and later when he found out he had cancer. The decision made more people know about these issues.
The National Health Service in England said that after Charles shared he was getting treatment, the number of people asking for help with prostate problems went up by 11 times.
