To mark the development, Buckingham Palace said Charles and Camilla will visit a cancer treatment centre on Tuesday to meet medical specialists and patients.
The palace spokesperson noted that Charle’s treatment programme will continue, but doctors are “sufficiently pleased with the progress made so far” that he is now able to resume a number of public-facing duties.
His diary of events will not be a full summer programme, and attendance will be announced nearer the time and “subject to doctors’ advice”, with “adaptations made where necessary to minimise risk”.
In January, Charles spent three nights in hospital for a procedure on an enlarged prostate, during which time his cancer – not prostate cancer – was discovered.
After his cancer diagnosis was announced on 6 February, he postponed all public-facing engagement but continued with his duties behind palace walls.
Today’s announcement will be a boost for the monarchy coming to terms with both Charles and Kate Middleton as cancer patients.
