King Charles will participate in the Easter mass to be held this Sunday at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. The sovereign will sit separated from the other members of the royal family to safeguard his health. The Telegraph reports the news. This marks the first public appearance of Charles since he began treatment for cancer almost two months ago. A source revealed to the British newspaper that the seating arrangement, agreed with Buckingham Palace's medical team, would provide an "acceptable" environment and a "minimum risk" level for the king's attendance. Kate and William will be absent on Easter Sunday. The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children George, Charlotte, and Louis will not be present as they will be spending the holidays together at Anmer Hall, their country house. Charles and Camilla will attend the Easter Morning Service - as it is officially known - which will last an hour from 10:45 to 11:45, according to the chapel. William is expected to return to public duties after his children have returned to school, thus after the Easter holidays. For now, he will continue to divide his time between supporting his wife and family and maintaining his official duties, as he has done since Kate was operated on in January. King Charles, the audio without video feeds doubts about his health. The sovereign makes only his voice heard: "I continue to serve you." The Speech On the occasion of the Maundy Thursday mass, the sovereign made a more than sincere appeal to "take care of each other", especially in times of need. The monarch's words - accompanied by an official photo released to the media depicting him in good shape at his Palace desk - resonated within the medieval English cathedral of Worcester, filled with representatives of the Anglican clergy, local authorities, and subjects, in a message recorded in mid-March in which Charles expressed his "great sadness" for not being able to attend the service, following doctors' recommendations not to participate in crowded events during treatments, and thanked those who "extend a helping hand" towards others. Although there were no direct references to his and his daughter-in-law's health, the intervention was widely interpreted by the UK media as a reflection on the nation's great solidarity response to the challenges of the sovereign and Kate, considering the many signs of closeness and affection shown in these weeks by the British. Charles, in the message that represents a tradition in the Easter week for his role as the honorary head of the Anglican Church, read a passage from the Holy Scripture and remembered the "great benefit" that the "spirit of service" and Christian aid to others ensure also and especially to those who offer it. He then emphasized how they are a "wonderful example" of attention and kindness towards others the 150 (75 men and as many women, as the age of the sovereign) senior representatives of local communities and engaged in volunteering who this year received the specially minted coin, called Maundy Money, the royal alms given precisely during the Maundy Thursday mass in memory of the Last Supper of Jesus with the Apostles. Queen Camilla Once again, after Charles was diagnosed with the disease, Queen Camilla replaced him, in this case in one of the most important events in the sovereign's calendar, considering it is a centuries-old tradition. Camilla was accompanied in the delivery of the special coinage by the Yeomen of the Guard, the king's ceremonial guard, with their typical red Tudor-style uniform, while outside the building hundreds of subjects first welcomed and then greeted the queen at the end of the ceremony. Meanwhile, the absence of the heir to the throne William continues, after the recent public revelation of the tumor that also struck his wife Kate, subjected in these weeks to a heavy preventive chemotherapy across the board.
