King Charles III took a walkabout this Sunday morning at Saint-George Chapel, west of Londonderry. The 75-year-old sovereign appeared smiling, waving and seeming to be joking, as he got out of the car with his wife Queen Camilla.

The couple emerged about an hour later, Charles wearing a happy face before exchanging handshakes and a few words with the members of the public. This public outing comes a little more than a week after Princess Kate, wife of Prince William, announced that she too had cancer.
