King Charles is hoping to attend the Easter Sunday service with a reduced royal turnout, sources have claimed.
The King announced he was diagnosed with a form of cancer last month, and has subsequently paused public-facing royal duties.
King Charles, 75, accompanied by Queen Camilla, is hoping to attend the annual service at St George’s Chapel, Windsor.
The King has stepped back from public duties on medical advice as he undergoes cancer treatment, to avoid the risks associated with large crowds.
The royal turnout on Easter Sunday will therefore be considerably smaller than usual to minimise his contact with others.
A Palace source told The Telegraph: “The King and Queen are hoping to attend some form of Easter service in Windsor.
“However, it will not be the large family gathering that we might expect to see in different circumstances.”
Kensington Palace has confirmed that the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children will not attend.
Princess Kate revealed on Friday that she was having preventative chemotherapy for cancer.
Her video message was released just as Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, five, broke up from school for the Easter holidays.
The family have now retreated from the public eye for the school holidays.
The prince and princess are understood to be protecting their children from the media coverage surrounding her diagnosis.
