King Charles in first public outing since cancer diagnosis

King Charles has attended church in Sandringham in his first public outing since Buckingham Palace announced his cancer diagnosis.

The King waved to members of the public as he walked outside St Mary Magdalene Church with his wife, Queen Camilla.

It comes after the King, 75, thanked people on Saturday for their “support and good wishes” since the news.

He said all those affected by cancer knew “such kind thoughts” were “the greatest comfort and encouragement”.

Around 100 well-wishers were gathered on Sunday as the King walked into church in Sandringham, briefly speaking with the Rev Canon Dr Paul Williams.

Crowds gathered around the gates of the private estate, but were not allowed to enter the grounds – which are closed to the public until Easter.

King Charles left Clarence House, London, for his Norfolk residence on Tuesday, accompanied by the Queen. His youngest son, the Duke of Sussex, had flown in from the US for a brief visit earlier that day.
