The royals who stepped up in Charles' hour of need: How Queen Camilla, William, Anne, Edward and Sophie all shouldered responsibility for public duties when King and then the Princess of Wales were diagnosed with cancer
Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, the Prince of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have all been busy with engagements since the King's Cancer diagnosis.
It emerged today that the King has been given permission to return to public-facing duties because his medical team are understood to be 'pleased with the progress made so far.'
He paused all public-facing engagements after his diagnosis in February, but continued to meet dignitaries and others at the Palace.
In his absence, Princess Anne has been the busiest royal. Since the start of the year she has carried out 167 engagements across the UK and during her visit to Dubai at the start of March.
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are the next busiest. Between them they have conducted 128 engagements.
Queen Camilla has found the time to carry out 33 engagements - the most recent of which was a visit to The Royal Lancers at Catterick Garrison in Yorkshire - whilst continuing to support her husband.
Prince William has also stepped up with 23 engagements despite the fact that most of these came after his wife Kate was diagnosed with cancer.

The Duke of Kent 88, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, 79 and 77, have also played their part in keeping the slimmed down monarchy going - they have collectively carried out nearly 100 engagements.
Princess Anne, who is known for her healthy work ethic, carried out five engagements yesterday alone.
They included a visit to Hyde Park Barracks in her role as Colonel of the Blues and Royals, a regiment of the Household Cavalry.
Earlier this week she also carried out two investitures on behalf of her brother the king.
She has four more engagements on her plate before the end of the month and shows no sign of slowing down in May. Nearly 30 events for that month are in her diary.

He was unable to attend due to medical advice amid his ongoing treatment.
Prince William's latest appearance came yesterday when he delighted school children by telling a joke during a visit to St Michael's Church of England High School in Rowley Regis, Sandwell.
He made the outing after Freddie Hadley, 12, wrote to him last year inviting him to see their mental health initiatives.
The royal told a knock-knock joke about 'Interrupting Cow' after telling the children that it was Princess Charlotte's favourite quip.
As President of the Earthshot Prize - which he founded in 2020 - the Prince of Wales will carry out engagements in the North East of England on April 30, including a visit to a low carbon business in Seaham, County Durham.

The late Queen's cousin, who is now very frail, wore his medals pinned on his jacket and carried a walking stick.
In March, he attended a service of thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey to mark the 200th anniversary of the lifeboat charity the RNLI.
The engagements display his lifelong devotion to duty, despite having a lower profile than more senior royals.
The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester have also been busy this week.
On Wednesday, the duchess officially opened a new children's centre in Wales, in her role as patron of Cerebral Palsy Cymru.
She also visited both the Makers Guild in Cardiff before meeting ambulance cadets.
On the same day, her husband officially opened the headquarters of the National Police Chiefs' Council.
The couple are set to attend the opening of the British Museum's new Michelangelo exhibition on April 30, before the duke heads to Kew Gardens in Richmond for a function on May 2.
