King Charles III said he had been reduced to tears by the messages he has received from people since his cancer diagnosis, as he held his weekly audience with the prime minister for the first time since stepping away from public duties to focus on his treatment.
Charles also met Wednesday with the Privy Council 바카라“ a group of senior officials who meet about once a month to advise the king on government matters. While the 75-year-old head of state remains absent from public engagements, he has said he intends to continue to perform his state duties.
Wearing a navy blue suit and tie, Charles joked with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak before their formal meeting at Buckingham Palace.
바카라śWonderful to see you looking so well,바카라ť Sunak said cheerfully in video released by the palace.
바카라śIt's all done by mirrors,바카라ť Charles laughed.
바카라śWe're all behind you,바카라ť Sunak said. 바카라śThe country is behind you.바카라ť
바카라śI've had so many wonderful messages and cards,바카라ť Charles responded. 바카라śIt's reduced me to tears most of time.바카라ť
It was the first time Charles has been filmed carrying out official duties since late last year. The monarch normally curtails his public schedule for several weeks around the Christmas and New Year holidays, which was followed by the announcement of the king's diagnosis earlier this month.
Buckingham Palace announced that the king would be treated for cancer less than three weeks after he was treated for an enlarged prostate. While palace officials didn't disclose the type of cancer, they said it wasn't prostate cancer.
Charles said he was also gratified to see how the announcement of his diagnosis had boosted support for cancer charities in the United Kingdom.
