It will be the most important event he has appeared in since announcing his cancer diagnosis.
Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla (Kamila) will attend St. At the Easter service at Windsor St. George’s Chapel is an old annual tradition of the British royal family.
The announcement comes after Princess Catherine of Wales, the 75-year-old daughter-in-law of the King, announced last week that she is also being treated for cancer.
As a result, the monarchy has found itself in an unprecedented crisis in modern times, with two members of the royal family battling serious illness at the same time.
Catherine, 42, is married to Charles III’s eldest son and heir to the throne, Prince William, making her a future queen.
It was just 17 months since Charles III came to the throne when the palace announced in early February that he was suffering from cancer. He has suspended his public royal duties pending treatment.
In January, Charles III underwent surgery for a benign prostate disease, but was later diagnosed with an unrelated cancer.
The type of cancer the king is suffering from has not been revealed.
However, he continues to do behind-the-scenes work, has held several private meetings and is increasingly appearing at official events.
On Tuesday, he was photographed hosting community and religious leaders at Buckingham Palace in central London.
Photos released last week showed him meeting with diplomats and Korean War veterans at the palace. These were two separate meetings.
In a statement earlier this month, Charles III said he would continue to serve to the best of his ability and that he was deeply moved by people’s wishes for a speedy recovery.
Last week, he praised his daughter-in-law Catherine for having the courage to admit in a video message that he had started chemotherapy.
She was last seen at a public event on December 25, and in January underwent abdominal surgery that was diagnosed with cancer.
Her Kensington Palace office said at the time that she was not expected to be ready to return to public duties until after Easter.
