King Charles III shook hands and chatted with onlookers after attending an Easter service at Windsor Castle on Sunday in his most significant public outing since being diagnosed with cancer last month.
"Keep going strong," one member of the crowd shouted as Charles and Queen Camilla walked by.
The king has continued fulfilling his state duties, such as reviewing government papers and meeting with the prime minister.
The service itself was smaller than usual as Kate, the Princess of Wales, is also being treated for cancer and has paused public duties.
"He knows that being seen by the public and having public goodwill is really what's at the core of a successful monarchy,'' royal commentator Jennie Bond told the BBC.
