Last updated 21st Feb 2024
King Charles has held two important meetings in person for the time since his cancer diagnosis.
The monarch met with the Privy Council - and the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak - at Buckingham Palace today.
He's been staying with Queen Camilla at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
The King and the Queen have been seen publicly twice since the announcement was made.
Pictures showed the royal couple attending a church close to Sandringham for the last two consecutive Sundays.
Details of the King's two meetings
The King met Prime Minister Rishi Sunak face to face at Buckingham Palace late on Wednesday afternoon, marking the restart of their weekly encounters to discuss matters of Government.
Beforehand, Charles held an in-person Privy Council at the royal residence, where attendees would have included Lord President of the Council Penny Mordaunt.
The King, who has been dealing with his red boxes of State papers behind the scenes, started outpatient treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer just over two weeks ago.
