The 76-year-old royal is set to publicly appear at Westminster Abbey to represent the crown in a celebration of the 56 member states across the globe. While Camilla is away, Charles’ siblings, Princess Anne and Prince Edward, are expected to represent the crown at most of the upcoming events next week. During the Queen’s break, the siblings are scheduled to appear at the Rising Brook Community Church, Savoy Chapel, the Right Stuff Amateur Boxing Club, National Equine Forum and more outings.

Previously breaking the news of Charles' medical condition, Buckingham Palace said in a statement, “The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.”

It added that the King decided to reveal his condition “to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.”
