Friday Evening News: King To Resume Public Duties As Doctors Pleased With Cancer Treatment Briefing

The King’s medical team are “very encouraged by the progress made so far”, a spokesman said, and doctors “remain positive about the King’s continued recovery”.

On Tuesday, the King and Queen will make a joint visit to a cancer treatment centre to meet medics and patients, marking what Buckingham Palace describes as a “milestone”. Follow the latest reactions to the news on the live blog here.

Victoria Ward explains what the King’s return means in a Q&A, and Camilla Tominey says that the picture of King Charles III and Queen Camilla shows that the Queen is the rock that has got the King through his toughest time.

Hannah Furness argues that King’s return will take pressure off the Princess of Wales, and Laura Donnelly notes that to be cured of cancer is a long journey, but this is a positive first step for the King.
