King Charles plans to reappear in public at Easter mass. Charles and Kate had lunch together on Thursday, a day before the message in which the Princess of Wales revealed her cancer diagnosis.

Charles has built a very close bond with her daughter-in-law since he visited her in her room at The London Clinic when she was recovering from abdominal surgery, just before the king was hospitalized for prostate surgery. Kate Middleton personally decided to face the cameras and write her own speech in one fell swoop and in a very short time.
