King Charles, undergoing cancer treatment, released a rare portrait and recorded message for the 2024 Royal Maundy Service, expressing gratitude for support and emphasizing the importance of serving and caring for each other. Unable to attend, Queen Camilla led the ceremony, distributing ceremonial coins in his place.
Queen Camilla attended the Royal Maundy service in place of King Charles III, who is undergoing cancer treatment, and distributed "Maundy money" to Christian worshippers. Charles, unable to attend, sent an audio message expressing his regret and praising the recipients of the money. The king is eager to return to his duties, and the royal family is expected to have a smaller-scale Easter as both Charles and Princess Kate are being treated for cancer.
King Charles III will deliver an Easter message emphasizing the importance of friendship amid his daughter-in-law Kate's cancer diagnosis, marking his first public remarks since revealing his own cancer diagnosis in February. The king will attend a Maundy Thursday service at Worcester Cathedral and an Easter Mattins Service at St. George's Chapel, but will not directly address Kate's health. He has expressed gratitude for the support received during his treatment and continues to fulfill some royal duties while undergoing medical care.
