King Charles III, aged 75, along with his wife Queen Camilla, made a grand return to London on Tuesday, leaving behind their country retreat where the king had been receiving treatment for his recent cancer diagnosis.
The royal couple flew to Buckingham Palace via helicopter, journeying back from the serene Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, eastern England.
Upon their arrival in London on Tuesday morning, King Charles was seen waving to the crowd from his car, showcasing a sense of authority and resilience despite his health challenges.
The monarch appeared composed and serene in photographs, as they were chauffeured to Clarence House, their official residence.
Speculations arose among royal observers, suggesting that King Charles should consider delegating some of his duties to Prince William and Princess Kate due to his ongoing battle with cancer.
The king’s recent public appearance at the Royal Sandringham Estate, attending a church service alongside Camilla, hinted at his gradual return to his responsibilities.
Reports indicate that King Charles is set to resume his cancer treatment appointments and engage in meetings with palace staff at his official residence in London.
Prior to his return, the monarch expressed gratitude towards well-wishers worldwide for their support and kind messages following his cancer diagnosis.
In a statement released by Buckingham Palace, King Charles acknowledged the outpouring of support he received and highlighted the importance of raising awareness about cancer.
