Joined by Queen Camilla, Charles met with doctors and patients of the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre on April 30. Both His Majesty and Camilla were seen smiling as they met with patients, as well as a young well wisher who presented the King with a bouquet of flowers.
Additionally, in a video shared to the Royal Family's Instagram Story from the visit, Charles can be seen shaking hands and greeting a number of staff.
During the visit, Charles was also announced as the new patron of Cancer Research UK, a position he is taking over from the late Queen Elizabeth.
The King's appearance comes four days after Buckingham Palace confirmed the monarch would be making a return to public duties following "a period of treatment and recuperation" amid his health journey.
At the time, the palace noted Charles' visit to the Macmillan Cancer Centre would "be the first in a number of external engagements His Majesty will undertake in the weeks ahead"—including a visit from the Emperor and Empress of Japan in June.
And while noting the upcoming first anniversary of Charles' coronation, the statement continued, "Their Majesties remain deeply grateful for the many kindnesses and good wishes they have received from around the world throughout the joys and challenges of the past year."
A spokesperson for the palace at the time also shared an update on the King's health, stating Charles was "greatly encouraged to be resuming some public-facing duties and very grateful to his medical team for their continued care and expertise."
