These are not easy days for King Charles: after his cancer diagnosis, he thanks everyone for the support. He attends a church service with Queen Camilla.

king Charles III (75) appeared smiling in public while visiting church six days after his cancer diagnosis was announced. Together with his wife, Queen Camilla (76), the British monarch came to a service at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham in the eastern English county of Norfolk on Sunday. He wore a brown coat and held an umbrella in his hand while briefly waving to onlookers.

Charles had previously addressed the public directly for the first time since his cancer diagnosis on Saturday evening and thanked him for their support over the past few days. Buckingham Palace announced on Monday that the king had been diagnosed with cancer. Charles has now started regular treatments. The palace did not say exactly what type of cancer it was.

On Tuesday, Charles was seen in public for the first time since his diagnosis as he and Camilla left their London residence Clarence House in a car after a brief meeting with his younger son Prince Harry, 39. Charles and Camila reportedly traveled to the Sandringham estate that same day.
