Buckingham Palace announced on Friday that doctors weresufficiently pleased with the 75-year-old king's response totreatment for the unspecified form of cancer that he would beable to resume some public-facing engagements.
The first of these saw the king and his wife Queen Camillavisit the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centrewhere he met patients and medical specialists.
The monarch, who has also become the new Patron of theCancer Research UK charity, looked cheerful, waving to thosegathered outside on his arrival.
Charles' health issues began in January when it was revealedthat he would be admitted to hospital to have a correctiveprocedure for a benign enlarged prostate.
The following month, the palace said tests had uncovered thepresence of a "form of cancer," but gave no further detailsbeyond saying it did not involve his prostate.
