Reports suggest that King Charles is planning to return to public duties by early summer. The monarch hopes to attend the Easter Sunday church service next week, but he is set to deliver a special message to his daughter-in-law, Catherine, before then. The message is said to be an attempt to reassure the nation after Catherine’s recent cancer diagnosis. The King is a huge support to Catherine at this time and is proud of her courage.

Charles recently traveled to Wior Castle to have a heart-to-heart with Catherine, during which he gave her his blessings to do an important thing. He left feeling emotional after having a private lunch with her on the day she revealed her diagnosis to the world. Although Catherine’s return to public life will be marked with her return to the limelight on Easter Sunday, there is no timeline for when she will return to public duties, given the current situation.
The King is determined to show the public the unity of his family and reassure them that the monarchy is still stable following several setbacks. This year’s Easter Sunday church service will be much smaller than normal, and the King’s attendance is health permitting. Palace sources reveal that there will not be a large family gathering as we might expect in different circumstances.
King Charles is also concerned about his grandchildren George, Charlotte, and Lewis, who he loves dearly. He was afraid that they would be shocked and heartbroken by the news of their mother’s cancer diagnosis. The King’s Easter message is an attempt to reassure the nation and his grandchildren that the family is united and strong.
While there have been reports of Royal insiders’ fears that Prince William and Catherine’s popularity will overshadow the King and Queen Camila, the King has given his blessing to Catherine to steal the limelight. William and Catherine frequently share updates on their social media channels, including behind-the-scenes videos giving a sneak peek into their lives. However, there is reportedly some trepidation within the Royal household about whether this is the best way to promote the monarchy.
