LONDON - King Charles III will return to his public duties next week for the first time since being diagnosed with cancer.

King Charles' condition is said to have made good progress after undergoing treatment and a period of recovery, Buckingham Palace said.

In February, the palace revealed that the 75-year-old king had been diagnosed with an unknown type of cancer and medical tests were detected related to prostate enlargement.

Although Charles continued the country's official affairs, the diagnosis prompted him to delay public involvement to start treatment and rest.

The Your Majesty's treatment program will continue, but doctors are quite pleased with the progress it has made so far so far that the king can now continue a number of public duties, said a Buckingham Palace spokesman.

Your Majesty is eager to continue some public duties and is very grateful to the medical team for their continued care and expertise.

Although it is still too early to say how long cancer treatment will last, the spokesman said his doctors were "deeply motivated by the progress they have made so far and remain positive for the king's continued recovery".

There are no further details regarding his condition or treatment provided, in line with the general attitude regarding medical privacy.

Charles' only public appearance came last month when he followed after the Easter service in Windsor.
