The British King Charles III. (75) welcomed several Korean War veterans despite his cancer. The meeting took place on Tuesday morning at Buckingham Palace, the royal family announced on Instagram. This was intended to commemorate the signing of the armistice more than 70 years ago. “60,000 soldiers from across Great Britain and the Commonwealth were deployed, 1,100 lost their lives,” wrote the royal family.

Later, Charles’ sister Princess Anne (73) and his sister-in-law Duchess Sophie (59) were to hold a reception on behalf of the monarch in memory of 1953. At the beginning of February, the royal family made it public that Charles was being treated for cancer. He is not attending public appointments for the time being, but he is continuing state affairs and has already been photographed at official meetings.

Charles’ daughter-in-law Princess Kate (42) is also out for a long time due to health problems. According to the palace, she is recovering from abdominal surgery. Her absence had recently caused a lot of speculation. Her husband, heir to the throne Prince William (41), was in Sheffield, central England, on Tuesday to continue his commitment to the fight against homelessness.
