King Charles III waved his top hat and shook hands with guests at a Buckingham Palace garden party on Wednesday, marking his return to public duties after his cancer diagnosis.
The King was joined by Queen Camilla for the first of two summer parties the Palace will host this year. He took a break from public-facing duties after announcing his cancer diagnosis in February but has since resumed some appearances while continuing treatment.
Prince Harry was also in London on a brief visit from his home in California, but he did not meet the King. A spokesman for Harry said the King's 'full programme' prevented a meeting.
