The King took a quiet walk with Queen Camilla yesterday after the pair departed Sandringham church.

People have been gathering outside Buckingham Palace this evening.

The Royal Standard could also be seen fluttering in the wind, indicating Charles is present within the Palace walls.

With King to be sidelined for longer after the shock announcement of his cancer diagnosis, and the Princess of Wales recovering from abdominal surgery, it means Prince William will shoulder more responsibility.

The Prince of Wales, 41, had recently postponed his royal engagements to be by his wife Kate Middleton’s side.

Kensington Palace announced earlier today, however, that he would resume public duties this week by conducting an investiture on Wednesday at Windsor Castle, followed by a gala fundraising event for the London Air Ambulance in the evening.

Maggie’s cancer support, which Camilla has been president of since 2008, said it was ‘very sorry’ to hear of the Charles’ diagnosis.

Chief executive Dame Laura Lee said: ‘We are incredibly sorry to hear the King’s news and our thoughts are with him.

‘We also know how challenging and worrying a time a cancer diagnosis can be for the whole family and our thoughts are very much with our president, Her Majesty The Queen.

‘We have centres across the country for anyone living with cancer or impacted by this announcement.’

Macmillan Cancer Support also posted a message on X sending best wishes to Charles and the Royal Family.

Jennie Bond earlier told Sky News said she hoped that King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis ‘will bring a reconciliation’ with Prince Harry.

Harry estranged brother William is also in close contact with his father but neither brother has made a public statement yet.

Talk TV’s royal editor Sarah Hewson says Prince Harry’s return to the UK ‘indicates the seriousness’ of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis.

‘I am sure that since his father first went into hospital, and since it was first announced that his father was going into hospital for the prostate treatment, and that his sister-in-law was in hospital, I’m sure that Prince Harry has never felt further away.’

The Palace released this image of the monarch, which showed Charles during the state tour of France in September 2023.

The King and Queen Camilla were pictured yesterday attending Sandringham church.

The announcement of the cancer diagnosis comes just a week after Charles appeared cheerful as he waved to the crowds as he was released from The London Clinic after receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate.

A terrible shock for him and I think an even greater shock for Camilla. I do feel for Camilla because he is her rock and vice versa and all the time he spent in hospital when she was there poppingi nevery five minutes showed just how much they love each other and feel a bit lost without each other.

The Mail’s Sarah Vine has sent her best wishes to the King while saying ‘this comes as an unwelcome shock, not just for the nation, still very much in mourning after the death of his mother, but also for the Royal Family itself’.
