"King Charles' Easter Message Amid Kate's Cancer Diagnosis"

King Charles III gave his first public remarks since his and Princess Catherine's cancer diagnoses, emphasizing the importance of acts of friendship in an audio message played at the annual Royal Maundy service. While undergoing treatment, he did not attend the service, leaving Queen Camilla to hand out traditional Maundy gifts on his behalf. The King is expected to attend church on Easter Sunday, marking his most significant public appearance since his diagnosis, and the Maundy money will be distributed to 150 individuals in recognition of their service to the church and local community.
