Britain's King Charles underwent surgery in January, and despite the small scale of the operation, doctors advised him to rest for three to four weeks, and he is not expected to resume his duties until the end of February.
King Charles made his first public appearance after being discharged from the hospital
After being discharged from the hospital, Charles and his wife Camilla returned to the Sandringham Manor in Norfolk, where they would have taken a leave of absence until mid-February before returning to London.
This week Charles was spotted with Camilla attending services at St Mary's Church near Sandringham Manor, where the royal family travels to church every Christmas.
The church's pastor, Canon Paul Williams, accompanies Charles and Camilla, who looks good in the photo, wearing a camel-colored coat, shirt and tie, and holding his trademark black umbrella, and waving to everyone after being seen by the public, which is his first public appearance after being discharged from the hospital.
Like his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Charles was a devout churchgoer and of course the head of the Anglican Church. During their time in Norfolk, Charles and the Queen would attend church on Sunday punctually, but his "successor", Prince William, whom we are better aware, was not as deeply religious as they were.
Unlike the Queen and King Charles, Prince William is more of an "atheist", and only on Christmas and Easter will go to church with other members of the royal family according to tradition, and there is news that William may refuse to serve as the head of the church after he succeeds to the throne, for which King Charles did not impose intervention, because the younger generation of Britons are mostly like William, and not being bound by tradition is also a major reason why William attracts them.
King Charles looked to be in good health, but he seemed to have recovered when he was discharged from the hospital, when he deliberately chose a handsome coat with a shirt and tie, accompanied by Camilla, walked out of the main entrance of the Marylebone Private Hospital, and told all the British people in the best condition: "Your king is very good!"
This is in stark contrast to Kate, Princess of Wales, who was discharged from the hospital on the same day as him, in January this year, Princess Kate and King Charles announced the news of the operation on the same day, the difference is that Kate had already undergone surgery when the news was announced at Kensington Palace, and Charles seemed to be in order to help his daughter-in-law cover up his condition, informing the outside world of the condition and the time of the operation a week in advance.
It is worth mentioning that Charles was originally discharged from the hospital in only two days, but in order to divert the attention of the outside world from Kate, he deliberately extended the hospital stay by one day, and Charles made a high-profile appearance at the entrance of the hospital an hour after the princess was discharged from the hospital in a low-key manner.
It is unclear when Princess Kate will return to work, and Kensington Palace staff have dismissed the previous claim that the princess will start working after Easter and will instead follow the advice and guidance of doctors.
As for King Charles, although the public event will not be held until the end of February, the famous "workaholic" has actually started to deal with the big and small matters within the royal family from the moment he was discharged from the hospital, and of course, the most laborious thing is how to deal with public relations issues related to Kate's condition.
