King Charles and Kate Middleton seen together for first time since Trooping the Colour amid cancer battle

ABERDEENSHIRE, SCOTLAND: King Charles and Kate Middleton were spotted together in public for the first time since their Trooping of the Colour appearance in June amid their cancer battle.

As the royal family is currently on their annual summer getaway at Balmoral Castle, the two beloved royals -- who were diagnosed with cancer earlier this year -- were seen at the parish of Crathie Kirk during the Sunday service, per Daily Mail. 

The parish of Crathie Kirk serves as the prayer hall of the royal family when they vacation at the Scottish castle.

King Charles and Kate Middleton are recuperating from cancer

The annual trip of the royals to Balmoral will be providing King Charles and his daughter-in-law, Kate, along with the royal family members including Queen Camilla, Prince William, and the Wales children the much-needed break after the cancer scare. 

For the outing, Prince William and Kate joined the monarch and his wife Queen Camilla as they arrived at the place of worship.

Earlier this year, both Charles and the Princess of Wales received preventive treatment after their diagnosis of cancer. 

After a month of recuperation, the monarch returned to the public eye in March. Kate, on the other hand, made her first appearance in public during the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony in June. 

Following that, she made another spirited appearance at the Wimbledon final in July and recorded a supportive video for Team Great Britain at the Olympics in early August. 

King Charles receives 'spiritual nourishment' from religious leaders

The king's visit to the Crathie Kirk happened just after it was rumored that the British monarch had received “spiritual nourishment” from religious leaders who, allegedly, inspired him to consider repairing his relationship with his younger son, Prince Harry. 

Daily Mail recently revealed that the 75-year-old king has received counseling from spiritual leaders. The sessions of counseling have allegedly inspired him to reconcile with his rebel son who is living in a self-imposed exile to America. 

The leaders, who allegedly helped Charles cope with the deaths of his own parents, are now guiding him toward a healing relationship with Harry who moved to Montecito, California, in 2020, and lives there with his wife Meghan Markle, and their two children - Archie and Lilibet. 

The source shared with the outlet, “Faith has always been a part of Charles’ life and something he has explored, but since becoming king it is playing a more central role.”

“That reliance on faith and quiet contemplation has become a comfort and an asset to him and helps him cope as he adjusts to being king,” added the source.
