Britain’s King Charles III has made a significant public appearance after his cancer diagnosis earlier this year. The 75-year-old monarch attended the Easter Mattins Service at Windsor Castle on Sunday.
The King and his wife, Queen Camilla, marked their presence at St. George’s Chapel. Notably, King Charles wore a suit and light blue tie and waved to the public present at the site. The crowd had been waiting to get a glimpse of their monarch for a long time. One person from the public shouted and wished “Happy Easter” to the King. In response to that, Charles kindly replied, “And to you.”
For those who are unfamiliar, the Easter service is a royal tradition where the whole royal family assembles at Windsor Castle to go to the church together. The King’s presence at the hour-long service was very crucial, with many people gathered to support their monarch.
You’re very brave to stand out here in the cold,
he said to one of the people standing to show his support. Notably, his presence had helped bring the royal family into a normal situation, given the illness that the family has been facing over the past few months.

Buckingham Palace shared the news that King Charles was suffering from cancer on February 5, 2024.
Princess Catherine did not attend the event with the family, as she recently went through abdominal surgery.
At the ceremony held on Sunday, only a few members of the royal family were seen. Siblings of King Charles, including Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Anne, and Prince Andrew, were among the first to arrive at Windsor Castle. After the service, Queen Camilla got a bouquet and the King was seen chatting with people.
