Buckingham Palace: King Charles III set to resume royal duties

The United Kingdom’s King Charles III is reportedly ready to return to his royal duties just under three months after he was diagnosed with cancer.

After going on a hiatus in early February to prioritize his treatment and recovery from an undisclosed type of cancer diagnosis, Charles, 75, is poised to recommence some of his public duties this week. Buckingham Palace made the announcement of his return on Friday, April 26. (Related: King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis likely to force him out of the public eye for the foreseeable future.)

In a symbolic gesture, the monarch kickstarted his return to public royal life by visiting a cancer treatment facility on Tuesday, April 23. Buckingham Palace has also announced the king’s calendar for the next few months, including a slew of notable engagements, such as acting as a host for a state visit by the emperor and empress of Japan in June.

The palace conveyed optimism regarding the king’s progress, indicating that his medical team is “very encouraged,” although the duration of his treatment remains uncertain, and specifics regarding his treatment regimen were not disclosed.

Despite his health challenges, King Charles will maintain his responsibilities, including governmental reviews and regular meetings with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, as has been the case since his diagnosis was disclosed on February 5.

“As the first anniversary of the coronation approaches, their majesties remain deeply grateful for the many kindnesses and good wishes they have received from around the world throughout the joys and challenges of the past year,” the palace remarked in a statement.

The return of King Charles is reportedly anticipated to alleviate the strain on other members of the royal family, who have shouldered additional responsibilities during his absence.

The king’s absence was compounded by similar illness-related absences from Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

Amidst the king’s cost-cutting initiatives and the Harry and Meghan’s decision to withdraw from royal duties, there has been a noticeable reduction in the number of available members of the royal family to fulfill the myriad engagements typically associated with modern royal life in the United Kingdom.

King Charles wants to maintain the British monarchy’s relevance in 21st century

Charles’ re-emergence presents an opportunity for him to rejuvenate his reign, characterized by aspirations of modernization and outreach to diverse demographics to solidify the British monarchy’s relevance in the 21st century.

The monarch’s challenges include fortifying connections with the Commonwealth and the 14 independent nations where the British monarch serves as head of state, a task fraught with historical sensitivities.

The significance of Charles’ return extends beyond the resumption of duties; it serves as a way for Buckingham Palace to quell further speculation regarding his health – an essential factor in maintaining public confidence in the monarchy, according to royal historian George Gross, founder of the British Coronations Project at King’s College London.

“I think there is that feeling that it’s very difficult to have a functioning monarchy with the head of state away for any considerable length of time. And this felt like a long time,’’ said the royal historian.

Buckingham Palace stressed that the king’s engagements would be adapted to mitigate risks to his recovery, with a cautious approach to scheduling his attendance at events. Notably, his summer commitments will be evaluated closer to the time of each event, considering medical advice and his health status.

Despite the adjustments, reports indicate that Charles’ return is awaited mostly positively by the British public, partly owing to his openness regarding his health challenges, which has also prompted increased awareness and health consultations for cancer among the populace, as noted by Gross.

“The monarch has seen that he can do good by discussing health and raising the awareness of cancer. I think that that’s at the top end of this. And that’s a very special thing when a head of state can do good. That’s immense.”
