King Charles smiles and waves as he's supported by wife Queen Camilla as he makes rare return to royal duties

Prince William has returned to official public duties today, Thursday 18 April, for the first time since his wife, Kate Middleton, revealed her cancer diagnosis. The Prince of Wales is visiting a surplus food distribution charity – Surplus to Supper – in Surrey, where he will lend a hand in the kitchen and help load prepared meals into delivery vans. He will then travel to a youth centre in west London which benefits from the organisation’s deliveries.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are said to be considering plans to renovate and extend a redbrick annexe next to their Adelaide Cottage home in Windsor.The family - who moved to the Berkshire estate towards the end of summer in 2022 - currently split their time between the four bedroom cottage and their beloved Anmer Hall retreat on the Sandringham Estate. While Adelaide Cottage provides the perfect location thanks to its proximity to Lambrook School where Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are students, sources say the family are looking at plans to extend a currently empty annexe to aid in the princess' recovery.This decision, however, is said to not be without complications as the source explains that the Prince of Wales is "conscious of public scrutiny" about royal spending habits and is taking a measured approach about how to personally cover the costs.

Even though the Grand National Festival will take place at Aintree Racecourse on Saturday, 13 April, it is not expected that King Charles will be in attendance as he continues to focus on his recovery following his cancer diagnosis. Many members of the Royal Family - including the King, Zara Tindall, Princess Anne and the late Queen Elizabeth II - have graced the racecourse in recent decades.

The Royal Family has a large portfolio of homes around the country, including Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle - as well as a number of smaller properties on these estates and in areas such as the Duchy of Cornwall. As well as the vast 50,000 acre Balmoral estate in the rolling hills of Aberdeenshire, there is another stunning Scottish home which was bought by King Charles' grandmother for a shockingly low price.The castle has never been lived in full-time and has frequently been used as a summer home for the King and Queen when they were still styled as the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.

Kate Middleton is making sure her kids still have fun with their grandad, King Charles. Even though Kate and the King both have health problems, they are staying strong together.

While The King and The Princess of Wales are both facing worrying health battles, they will perhaps find a small amount of solace by confiding in one another about what they are both going through.The pair share a very close bond and have often expressed their respect and admiration for one another.This relationship will surely act as a pillar of strength during this difficult time – as well as the light-hearted distraction provided by Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. This special relationship between the King, his daughter-in-law and his Wales grandchildren will be hugely important at this time, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond notes.
