It's official: Charles III will be present at the traditional Easter mass, organized at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, on Sunday March 31.
The information was communicated by Buckingham Palace and relayed this Tuesday March 26 by royal journalist Rebecca English.
And this is something to delight royal fans as they are worried about the health of members of the royal family.
The 75-year-old sovereign learned he had cancer in February, following a prostate exam.
Less than two months later, her daughter-in-law Kate Middleton made the same statement, although she initially said she was resting after abdominal surgery in January.
On Friday March 22, she revealed in a video that she also had cancer and had started chemotherapy, like the monarch.

Thus, while Prince William's wife has withdrawn from the public scene for several months, generating numerous conspiracy theories, the return of Charles III should perhaps reassure some skeptics.
In addition to his doctors who recommended that he avoid crowds and honor his appointments from his home in Sandringham, it seems to be important to the King of England to appear in the flesh in front of the British.
The latter will be accompanied by his wife, Queen Camilla, who has been replacing him for several weeks at certain events.
In this context, it is certain that Kate Middleton, Prince William and their three children will be conspicuous by their absence.
A king of “good humor”
Every year, the Easter mass brings together the entire royal family.
Thus, we can normally count on the presence of Princesses Eugénie and Beatrice, daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, but also that of the Wessex family.
Prince Edward, younger brother of Charles III, never celebrates the event without his wife Sophie of Wessex, and their two children, Louise and James Mountbatten-Windsor.
The king's nephew, Peter Philips, son of Princess Anne and brother of Zara Tindall, should also be present with his daughters Isla and Savannah.
The latter also spoke about the state of health of his uncle, during an interview for

.
“He is in a good mood,” he explained, adding however that he was “extremely frustrated”.
“He’s frustrated that he can’t go on and do everything he wants to do.”
And hopes very quickly for a “return to normality”.
