King Charles radiated joy and greeted onlookers as he made his way to St. Mary Magdalene Church for the Sunday service earlier today.
The monarch, who recently underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate and spent some time in the hospital, seemed in high spirits as he arrived at Sandringham State Chapel.
Sporting his iconic camel coat and carrying an umbrella, the King stepped out for the first time since being discharged from the London Clinic on Monday, exuding vigor as he returned to the weekly service after a brief hiatus.
Accompanied by Queen Camilla, who looked elegant in a fur hat, navy coat, and light blue scarf, King Charles was met by a small group of well-wishers outside the 18th-century church.
However, their hopes of getting closer to the monarch were dashed as the gates to the paddock area were locked, forcing them to observe from a distance of approximately 150 yards.
Despite this setback, the supporters gathered to convey their good wishes to the 75-year-old King on his visit.
Today’s service marked King Charles’ first attendance in three weeks, as he was still under observation at the London Clinic during the previous Sunday and had chosen to rest the week before for a routine medical procedure.
Outside the church, the royal couple was warmly welcomed by the Rector of Sandringham, the Rev Canon Paul Williams, who exchanged pleasantries with the King and offered a reassuring gesture.
Charles, with a smile indicating his well-being, engaged in conversation with the Rector, portraying a sense of ease and contentment.
