Buckingham Palace has confirmed King Charles will return to public-facing duties from next week.
The 75-year-old monarch has remained largely out of the limelight, postponing all public engagements since he began treatment for an unspecified form of cancer in February.

The illness was found in tests after he had a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate in January.
On Friday evening, the palace confirmed the King would “shortly return” to public-facing duties after “a period of treatment and recuperation” - before revealing his first engagement.
“To help mark this milestone, The King and Queen will make a joint visit to a cancer treatment centre next Tuesday, where they will meet medical specialists and patients,” it said.
“This visit will be the first in a number of external engagements His Majesty will undertake in the weeks ahead.”
With her husband on reduced duties the Queen is leading the royal charge and passing on plenty of best wishes to Kate.
A spokesperson said that while His Majesty’s treatment programme would continue, doctors are “sufficiently pleased with the progress made so far” and “remain positive” about his continued recovery.
Charles is also said to be “greatly encouraged” to be going back to more public events.
Forthcoming engagements will remain subject to doctors’ advice and will be adapted where necessary, to minimise any risks.
Friday’s statement was released alongside a new image of The King and Queen - taken on April 10 in the Buckingham Palace garden - to mark the first anniversary of the Coronation.
“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 said.
The King was seen greeting crowds and shaking hands with well-wishers after the Easter Sunday service in Windsor.
The update comes just hours after the Daily Beast reported Charles’ health was progressively deteriorating leading palace officials to regularly update plans for his impending funeral.
Multiple sources - allegedly including a close friend and a former staffer - told the outlet “he is really, very unwell - more than they are letting on” with funeral plans “actively being kept up to date”.
Military officials confirmed to the outlet that Operation Menai Bridge - the monarch’s several-hundred-page funeral plan - is being regularly updated, however, it was standard procedure.
