King Charles' reassuring sign as he attends Easter service - and prevents Andrew taking the lead
ok.co.ukKing Charles will join Queen Camilla and other members of the Royal Family at the Easter Sunday Matins Service at St George's Chapel, Windsor on March 31.
The appearance will be the King's first major engagement since news of his cancer diagnosis was revealed.This decision, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond tells OK!, is a stroke of genius for more reasons than one.The expert explained: "I think this is a really positive sign that the King is standing up to the cancer treatment well and that his doctors must be satisfied with his progress, and I think it probably lends weight to the suggestions that he is impatient to get things back to normal." Jennie continued: "He’s the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, our Head of State and the head if his family - and he wants to be seen carrying out those roles.
After the weeks of seeing Camilla carrying out engagements alone it will be reassuring to see them side by side once again. She is his best friend and his sounding board and I think he is enormously proud of how she has increased her workload during this difficult time." Pointing out how the King's decision will also prevent Prince Andrew leading the Royal Family like he did recently for the thanksgiving service of King Constantine II of Greece, Jennie adds: "It will also prevent a repeat of Andrew marching down to the chapel at the head of the family, rippling feathers and creating unwelcome headlines." While he will attend the traditional Easter Sunday service, the King was unable to be present at the annual Maundy Thursday service at Worcester Cathedral - and was instead represented by Queen Camilla.
