The 76-year-old customarily takes a scheduled break at this time of the year, according to palace sources cited by PEOPLE. Emphasizing that it's a routine week of private time, one source clarifies it is unrelated to King Charles' health.
Queen Camilla is set to take on a royal role at Westminster Abbey in London for the annual Commonwealth Day service on March 11, leading the family in the monarch's absence. Meanwhile, King Charles is anticipated to deliver a video address to be played during the service.
During this period, Charles' siblings, Princess Anne and Prince Edward, are set to represent the British family at various upcoming events. The engagements reportedly include visits to the Right Stuff Amateur Boxing Club, Freewheelers Theatre, Rising Brook Community Church, Savoy Chapel, National Equine Forum, and other outings, as noted in the online royal diary.
During this week, Camilla reportedly plans to spend time with the king and her own family before resuming her responsibilities next Monday.
King Charles III shared a message after his prostate cancer diagnoses was announced in an official statement on Feb. 10.
"I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received," he wrote in a letter posted to Instagram. "As all those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement."
Kensington Palace also shared in January that Kate Middleton, who was last seen publicly last Christmas, is unlikely to return to her role until after Easter., according to NBC-4.
