King Charles returns to duties for first time since hospital stay for cancer treatment side effects


King Charles has returned to public duties for the first time since his short hospital stay after suffering cancer treatment side effects last week. The monarch hosted an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle

Among the recipients were TV gardener Alan Titchmarsh, who received a CBE for his contributions to horticulture and charity, and reigning world heptathlon champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who was awarded an MBE for her services to athletics. Buckingham Palace has tried to ease concerns about the King's hospital admission, with Royal insiders describing it as "a bump in the road" and assuring that Charles' treatment is still "very much headed in the right direction". The following day, he will attend a public engagement in Windsor and celebrate the 80th anniversary of the humanitarian air operator Mission Aviation Fellowship during an event at RAF Northolt in west London.
