King Charles smiled and waved as he attended church with the Queen for the first time since the announcement of his cancer diagnosis. Walking alongside Camilla and holding an umbrella, Charles arrived at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, Norfolk, on Sunday morning (11 February) It comes after Buckingham Palace said the King, who acceded to the throne 17 months ago, has a “form of cancer”. Charles has postponed all public-facing duties, but is continuing with behind-the-scenes work on his red boxes of state papers. On Saturday the King thanked people for their “many messages of support and good wishes” and said it was “equally heartening” to hear how sharing his diagnosis has helped to promote public understanding of cancer.
