"regular treatment"
as an outpatient later that day. Buckingham Palace states that
the King remains entirely positive
about his prognosis and that he hopes to return to his public duties as soon as possible."

his constitutional role as head of state
, including procedures and private meetings.

a church service in Sandringham
, where he greeted the crowd and appeared in high spirits. Now, the presence of his son could give him the necessary encouragement to face the complicated process that awaits him.
