The King has returned to Windsor Castle for a usual working week following a brief stay in hospital due to side effects from his cancer treatment, it is understood.
The monarch will be carrying out a mix of public engagements, state duties and private meetings, including his usual audience with the prime minister, over the coming days.
He is also due to be investitures at Windsor Castle – where someone who has been awarded an honour receives their award in person from the King or another member of the Royal Family.
The King, who spent a restful weekend at Highgrove in Gloucestershire, will also begin preparing for his state visit to Italy with the Queen.
His Majesty was pictured smiling and waving as he left his Clarence House home in central London on Friday where he spent the night with the Queen following the “minor bump” in his cancer journey.
The King cancelled a busy away-day in Birmingham on Friday to prioritise his recovery, after experiencing temporary side effects following treatment at the London Clinic on Thursday morning that required a short period of hospital observation that day.
The monarch was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February 2024 and returned to public-facing duties last April, despite still undergoing weekly treatment.
