On Sunday, March 31, the royal family made their usual trip to St. George to attend the Easter Sunday Service.
King Charles, who is battling cancer, and his wife, Queen Camilla, attended the church along with other royals. However, the Prince and Princess of Wales were nowhere to be seen. This is because Kate is taking a step back from her royal duties as she undergoes preventative chemotherapy.
Although Kate decided to skip the program entirely due to her health, Charles attended but was advised by his medical team to sit separately from the rest of the royal family, including his siblings Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edwards.
Shortly after the service, Charles surprised the crowd waiting outside with a walkabout, where he greeted them and assured them he was “doing the best” amid his cancer battle.
Kate, on the other hand, has yet to make a public appearance since sharing the news of her cancer diagnosis and likely won’t be making another anytime soon.
