King Charles is scheduled to visit a cancer treatment centre on Tuesday on his return to public duties after the British monarch himself was diagnosed with the disease.
\nBuckingham Palace announced on Friday that doctors were sufficiently pleased with the 75-year-old king\u2019s response to treatment for the unspecified form of cancer that he would be able to resume some public-facing engagements.
\nThe first of these will be Tuesday\u2019s visit to a cancer treatment centre to meet patients and medical specialists.
\nThe Palace has also announced Charles and his wife Queen Camilla will host a state visit by the Japanese Emperor Naruhito and his wife Empress Masako in late June.
\nCharles\u2019 health issues began in January when it was revealed that he would be admitted to hospital to have a corrective procedure for a benign enlarged prostate.
\nThe following month, the palace said tests had uncovered the presence of a \u201cform of cancer\u201d, but gave no further details beyond saying it did not involve his prostate.
\nHe has rested and undergone treatment for the disease since then, continuing with official state duties in private. He was well enough to greet well-wishers after an Easter church service at the end of March.
\nAlthough his diary will be carefully managed to minimise any risks to his health, the palace said he might attend some annual events such as \u2018Trooping the Colour\u2019 military parade in June, as well as commemorations to mark the 80th anniversary of the World War Two D-Day landings, also in June.
\nCharles\u2019 illness came less than 18 months after he succeeded his mother Queen Elizabeth. His nephew Peter Phillips has said the monarch, who is renowned for hard work, had found the limitation imposed by his treatment frustrating.
\nAlso absent has been Charles\u2019 daughter-in-law Kate, wife of his son and heir Prince William, who is undergoing preventative chemotherapy after tests in the wake of major abdominal surgery revealed cancer had been present.
