As he steps back from official visits, other members of the royal family have taken on additional duties.
Queen Camilla has been holding down the fort since King Charles’ cancer diagnosis in January.
She has completed 13 official assignments solo since her husband’s condition came to light, but is now expected to hand over the government to the Prince of Wales and Princess Anne while she takes a break.
The king was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer earlier this year after hospital treatment for an enlarged prostate, which was unrelated to him.
He was treated at the same hospital as the Princess of Wales, who underwent abdominal surgery for an unknown condition in January.
It comes as Royal fans face ticket chaos after rushing to buy seats to watch the Princess of Wales return to royal duties at a practice Trooping of the Color ceremony, after which the military has to make an awkward U-turn and can remove the reference to her. the events page.
The military today backtracked on claims that Kate Middleton would attend the June 8 parade, amid accusations that officials had “jumped the gun” by announcing her presence without consulting the palace.

The tickets sold out on the army website advertising Kate, 42, who reviewed a ‘practice parade’ for the first time in her role as honorary colonel of the Irish Guards on June 8.
The Princess of Wales has been out of action since undergoing abdominal surgery in January and is not expected to return to public duties until the other side of Easter.
The announcement appeared to indicate that Kate will be feeling well enough to attend the June 8 event, but broke protocol because traditionally only the palace can confirm the presence of a royal family.
Kensington Palace has not yet said she will attend, and MailOnline understands Palace officials were not consulted about the announcement. Neither party has released a statement on the debacle.
