Charles and her daughter-in-law Kate, Princess of Waleswho both announced earlier this year that they had been diagnosed with cancer, are expected to attend both events.
THE the king was diagnosed diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February, but he gradually returned to public duties after receiving treatment and recently made a trip to Australia and Samoa.
