King Charles appears in public. First he thanks them in a statement for their sympathy, then he shows himself - smiling and waving.
The 75-year-old came to a service at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham in the eastern English county of Norfolk on Sunday with his wife Queen Camilla. The palace announced on Monday that Charles had been diagnosed with cancer. During his recent treatment in hospital for benign prostate enlargement, another problem was noticed and subsequent diagnostic tests revealed a form of cancer.
