It is the first time the pair have been spotted since Buckingham Palace revealed the King would be returning to public-facing duties.
His Majesty, 75, has chosen to make his public comeback by visiting a cancer hospital to speak to staff and patients with Camilla, 76, on Tuesday.
His Majesty is greatly encouraged to be resuming some public-facing duties and very grateful to his medical team for their continued care and expertise
Palace Official
It is understood the King, as patron of MacMillan Cancer Support, wants the visit to raise awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and highlight innovative research supported by Cancer Research UK, which is taking place at the hospital.
The palace has also confirmed he will host a State Visit from the Emperor and Empress of Japan this summer.
Palace officials announced Charles is still undergoing cancer treatment but his medical team are "very encouraged by the progress" and "remain positive" about his recovery.
Future enagements
SUMMER SCHEDULE
It means other important upcoming outdoor engagements such as Royal Ascot, Trooping the Colour and the Buckingham Palace Garden Party are all possibly on the cards.
It confirms The Sun’s exclusive story three weeks ago when we revealed the King had told aides he was "raring to go" and ordered staff to "supercharge" his diary for the summer.
A palace spokesperson added: "Planning continues for ways in which Their Majesties may attend such summer and autumn engagements, though nothing can be confirmed or guaranteed at this stage.
"All future plans remain subject to doctors’ advice nearer the time, with appropriate adaptations made where necessary to minimise any risks to His Majesty’s continued recovery."
It is understood the King’s programme will be "carefully calibrated" with his medical team as his recovery continues.
The spokesperson said: "His Majesty is greatly encouraged to be resuming some public-facing duties and very grateful to his medical team for their continued care and expertise."
It comes after His Majesty bravely opened up about his diagnosis in February this year after the disease was spotted during a his prostate operation.
Charles has taken a step back from royal duties while he undergoes outpatient cancer treatment in London.
However, he has still been carrying out official State business and selected Audiences throughout his recovery programme.
It was also revealed today that Prince Harry is set to return to the UK in days to mark the 10th anniversary of his Invictus Games.
The duke will be arriving on May 8 to attend the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral.
It honours a decade since the inaugural Invictus Games London in 2014.
It will be his first time in Britain since Princess Kate announced she is receiving treatment for cancer on March 22.
However, wife Meghan’s attendance has not been confirmed yet, alongside their children Archie and Lilibet.
