Royal biographer Hugo Vickers said the King's return to duties is a sign he is "on the way to recovery." Buckingham Palace confirmed today that His Majesty The King will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis.
"I think the most difficult thing for him was he was really getting into his stride as head of state and he was doing so much and then suddenly he was confined to base.
We'll be very pleased to see him and he'll be delighted to be out and about again," Mr Vickers added.
