After her break, Camilla will represent the King at the annual Royal Maundy service and distribute unique coins to community stalwarts from across the country in an ancient ceremony at Worcester Cathedral on 28 March.
The Bishop of Worcester, Dr John Inge said: “This is an immensely special service and I know it will mean a huge amount to those who have been chosen to receive the coins, all of whom will have given years of service to their local communities.”
Since his diagnosis, the King has postponed all public-facing duties but is continuing with behind-the-scenes work.
