The official announcement read: 'His Majesty The King will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis.
To help mark this milestone, The King and Queen will make a joint visit to a cancer treatment centre next Tuesday, where they will meet medical specialists and patients. This visit will be the first in a number of external engagements His Majesty will undertake in the weeks ahead.
In addition, The King and Queen will host Their Majesties The Emperor and Empress of Japan for a State Visit in June, at the request of HM Government.
As the first anniversary of The Coronation approaches, Their Majesties remain deeply grateful for the many kindnesses and good wishes they have received from around the world throughout the joys and challenges of the past year.'

When was King Charles last seen in public?
King Charles' last public appearance was on Easter Sunday, when he attended church in Windsor with other royal family member. After leaving the service at St. George’s Chapel, he made his way to the gathered crowd outside, and spent time speaking to and shaking hands with well-wishers.
While King Charles took a step back from public-facing duties following his cancer diagnosis, he has continued his constitutional duties behind the scenes.
