Last updated 2nd Apr 2024
King Charles has smiled and waves to adoring crowds as he arrived for his annual Easter church service.
This is the most significant appearance from the monarch after he was diagnosed with a form of cancer in early February.
75-year-old Charles arrived at the service by car at St. George's Chapel alongside wife Queen Camilla shortly after 10:40a.m.
Arriving for the Easter Mattins Service, he was also joined by other members of the Royal Family.
As he made his way into the church, a member of the public shouted to the King: "Happy Easter!" Charles turned around and responded: "And to you."
However, the Prince and Princess of Wales did not attend the ceremony, as she continues to undergo chemotherapy for her own form of cancer.
Prince William and Kate are taking time away from royal duties to spend the Easter holidays together following her emotional cancer diagnosis reveal earlier this month.
In a statement, the Princess revealed that doctors had found what they believed to be cancer following "post-operative tests" after major abdominal surgery.
Among the other members of the family that joined the King and Queen were the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and Sarah, Duchess of York.
