  • The monarch headed back to Sandringham after 24 hours in the capital 

King Charles has left Clarence House and is heading back to Sandringham after receiving more cancer treatment in London. 

The monarch was seen waving as he headed back to the estate this morning following 24 hours in the capital. 

The 75-year-old had landed at Clarendon House in the royal helicopter yesterday after spending a week in Norfolk resting following the shock announcement. He was pictured with his wife Queen Camilla by his side as the royal couple were driven to nearby Clarence House.

On Saturday Charles broke his silence for the first time as he sent his heartfelt thanks for the messages of support and said he was ‘heartened’ to hear his experience is inspiring others up and down the country to get themselves checked. 

Charles announced last week he was postponing all public duties while he undergoes treatment for an unspecified cancer, found by doctors while he was being treated for his benign enlarged prostate.

Camilla has been carrying out her royal diary of engagements and last week said her husband was doing ‘extremely well under the circumstances’.

She said the King, who underwent his first bout of cancer treatment last week, had been ‘very touched’ by all the messages of support he has received from the public.

Charles was pictured walking to church at Sandringham with Camilla on Sunday, the first time he had been seen in public since he began regular treatments. 

The King appeared to be in high spirits while attending a service at St Mary Magdalene Church.

He smiled and waved at a crowd of more than 100 well-wishers as he visited the Sandringham Estate Chapel alongside Camilla, 76, before being greeted by rev Canon Paul Williams.

Wearing his signature long brown coat and using an umbrella as a walking stick, the King strolled at his usual brisk pace for the 11am service at the Norfolk estate. 

Crowds, who gathered to show the couple support following Charles’ diagnosis watched on from behind locked gates, said he ‘seemed like he was doing really well’.

Buckingham Palace confirmed last week Charles, who only acceded to the throne 17 months ago, does not have prostate cancer, saying only that he has a ‘form of cancer’.

He was diagnosed after a ‘separate issue of concern was noted’ and was investigated while he was being treated for his benign enlarged prostate.

Friends revealed last week that ‘workaholic’ Charles will most likely be spending his time indulging in two of his favourite hobbies – walking and water painting – while trying to take it easy.

All public engagements have been cancelled but those close to the monarch joked that he will continue to work through his ‘red boxes’ of paperwork ‘before he’s had his boiled egg in the morning.’

A friend told the Mail: ‘Boredom will be one of the hardest things for him.’

Another said the King will likely to spend some his time listening to his beloved records of the late Canadian singer Leonard Cohen, specifically the poetic song Take This Waltz, which he has described as ‘very moving’.
