For King Charles, this must have been one of the longest
stretches of his adult life without any public engagements.
Since he was a young man, as Prince of Wales before becoming
King, he has had a regular round of royal visits, in what must sometimes seem like
a loop tape of cars pulling up, cheering crowds and handshakes.
Except now
people just hold up camera phones rather than cheer.
But with his cancer treatment, he’s been keeping away from
public events and crowds. Apart from attending an Easter Sunday service this
will be his biggest public appearance this year.
After four months away, he’s now back on the road.
