King Charles will take part in events commemorating the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings next month, says Buckingham Palace.
He will be travelling to Normandy in France for the international events marking the landings which took place in 1944 during the Second World War.
There had been uncertainty because of the King's cancer diagnosis.
But King Charles has been making a return to engagements with a series of public appearances this week.
He will be accompanied by Queen Camilla and the Prince of Wales for a ceremony in Portsmouth on 5 June, remembering the wartime Allied landings to liberate France when it was occupied by the Nazis.
The King and Queen will also attend an event on 6 June at the British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer in France, which lists the names of more than 20,000 under British command who died during the Battle of Normandy.
