King Charles is preparing to take his first overseas trip since revealing he has been diagnosed with an unspecified type of cancer and is currently undergoing treatment.

On Friday 5/17, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the monarch will travel to Normandy, France, to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day on 6/6, Independent reports.

The monarch will visit the Normandy Memorial in England with his wife, Queen Camilla, where the event will be led by the Ministry of Defence and the Royal British Legion.

The announcement comes after Queen Camilla offered an update on the monarch's health and something of a warning to her husband, telling guests at a recent garden party at Lamb House that King Charles would "get better" if he "behaved himself."

As the Independent noted, the Queen previously said she told her husband that she needed to "slow down a bit" after he was first diagnosed with an enlarged prostate.

The King returned to his official duties at 4.30 am, including visiting a cancer treatment center to meet with medical professionals and patients.

Before his first major step towards a more normal public schedule, the Palace released an update on the King's health, writing a statement on the monarch's "treatment program will continue" and "doctors are fully satisfied with the progress made so far.""

"Future contracts will be adapted as necessary to minimize the risk to His Majesty's continued recovery," the Palace statement continued, In addition to confirming that Wang was "greatly encouraged" to resume his duties facing the public, he is "very grateful" to his medical team for their "continued care and expertise."

King Charles is a notorious "workaholic", according to many family and royal insiders. Following his cancer diagnosis, Peter Phillips, the king's nephew, told Sky News Australia's The Royal Report that his uncle is "frustrated that he can't get on board and do everything he wants to be able to do."

"He is constantly urging staff and everyone, and his doctors and nurses, to be able to say, "Can we actually do this?"Phillips explained at the time. "So the most important message is that he is obviously very keen to return to the form of normality.

In 2023, the 75-year-old royal travelled to France, Germany and Kenya, the Independent reported.
