King Charles speaks of ‘caring for each other’ as he skips pre-Easter service amid cancer treatment
King Charles III emphasised friendship and acts of caring in a pre-recorded personal message.
It was delivered to a pre-Easter church service on Thursday that he skipped as he continued to undergo cancer treatment.
Representing her husband, Queen Camilla attended the Royal Maundy Service at Worcester Cathedral.
She presented bags of specially minted coins to people being honoured for public service.
The personal message from the monarch comes after recent announcements that both he and his daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, had been diagnosed with cancer
While the message made no direct reference to the royals’ health problems, it marked the king’s first public comment since the princess revealedshe was undergoing chemotherapy.
Charles said that Jesus set an “example of how we should serve and care for each other,” and how as a nation “we need and benefit greatly from those who extend the hand of friendship to us, especially in a time of need”.
The service, which dates back to the year 600, commemorates the Last Supper when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples as an act of service and humility.
Sovereigns no longer wash the feet of the needy as they did in medieval times. Instead, Camilla presented purses filled with special coins, known as Maundy money, to 75 women and 75 men, a number dictated by the king’s age.
The service “reminds me of the pledge I made at the beginning of the Coronation Service — to follow Christ’s example ‘not to be served but to serve,'” Charles said in his message. “That I have always tried to do and continue to do, with my whole heart”.
The king stepped back from public appearances in early February, when he announced that he would undergo treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer.
He has continued to carry out his state duties, including regular meetings with the prime minister and reviewing and signing government documents.
The Princess of Wales, wife of Prince William, announced last week that she, too, was being treated for an undisclosed type of cancer. The news came after the princess, formerly Kate Middleton, underwent abdominal surgery in January.
In 2018, the Parkland school shooting incident happened. A 15 year old named Anthony Borges successfully stopped the shooter from entering his classroom by using his body to keep the door shut. He got shot 5 times, saved 20 classmates inside the room, and went on to make a full recovery…
