FACING IT HEAD ON

The King yesterday returned to London from Sandringham, to face his second cancer treatment at a hospital "head on".

Charles and Queen Camilla flew by helicopter to Buckingham Palace from their Norfolk home and were then driven the short distance to Clarence House, where the King waved to wellwishers who had braved torrential rain.

Sources close to Charles say he is "keen to be seen" as he undergoes treatment and he will be driven in the state Bentley, with its large windows, wherever possible when he is in town.

Yesterday Charles, 75, held face-to-face meetings with staff before his treatment took place.

It was announced last week that the monarch has a "form of cancer" and, at the weekend, he issued a statement praising "all those organisations which support cancer patients".

The King will continue his weekly audiences with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak when Parliament returns from recess next week.

Charles may also decide to release photos and video clips of his weekly audiences with Sunak.
