King Charles has progressed enough in his cancer treatment that he’ll return to public duties next week for the first time since announcing his diagnosis, Buckingham Palace said Friday.
The news comes just one day after unnamed sources told The Daily Beast that the 75-year-old British monarch was “significantly more unwell than his aides are letting on.”
The king was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in early February while being treated for benign prostate enlargement. The palace at the time said it would not provide a “running commentary” about his health, and much speculation has followed surrounding the details of his condition.
Buckingham Palace said Charles will travel with his wife, Queen Camilla, to a cancer treatment center on Tuesday, where they’re expected to meet with the patients and medical specialists.
