Weekly talks with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak
Since the announcement of his cancer in early February, the British sovereign had canceled all official public engagements, although he continued to carry out certain official duties or fulfill certain appointments in small groups, such as his weekly meetings with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Buckingham Palace announced in early February the king's illness, detected during a prostate operation a few days earlier, and treatment began.
His last public appearance dates back to March 31: after attending the traditional Easter religious service, the king enjoyed a walk, exchanging handshakes and jokes with the public waiting in front of St. George's Chapel in Windsor, at West London.
However, there has been no news about the health of Princess Kate, her daughter-in-law, since her cancer was announced on March 22. The diagnosis was made after the Princess of Wales underwent major abdominal surgery in mid-January.
Very popular in the United Kingdom and around the world, the wife of Prince William, heir to the throne, revealed in a video that she was suffering from cancer, without specifying its nature, and began “preventive” chemotherapy. Provoking a “huge shock,” the 42-year-old princess stressed that her family “needs time, space and privacy” during this terrible experience.
