King Charles III is back in action.
The British monarch returned to work today, about two months after he was diagnosed with cancer.
This morning, he and wife Queen Camilla visited the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre in London to help raise awareness of the importance of early diagnosis. There, they also learned about some of the innovative research, supported by Cancer Research UK, taking place at the hospital.
The visit also marked Charles’s first day as a new patron of Cancer Research UK.
For the occasion, the king looked elegant in a pinstripe blue suit, light blue striped shirt, black shoes, and a and pastel pink tie. Camilla, meanwhile, opted for a flowy green and black leopard-print dress with frill detail at the chest, which she wore with transparent black tights and brown leather flats. She accessorized with gold earrings, a black watch, and gold bracelets.
Last Friday, Buckingham Palace said in a statement obtained by Harper’s Bazaar that the king would “shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis.”
The news came several weeks after Bazaar reported the king was feeling “frustrated” with his condition, and eager to get well and back to work.
The palace explained in its statement that Charles’s visit to the hospital today is the first of several engagements he will undertake in the weeks ahead. In addition, he and Camilla will host the emperor and empress of Japan for a state visit in June.
“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 palace added.
