Uncertainty swirled around what the royal family’s Easter Sunday plans might look like this year. While King Charles has postponed public-facing duties while receiving cancer treatment, Easter (and other holidays like Christmas, complete with royals' walk to church at Sandringham) are technically private family events rather than royal duties.
A royal source tells PEOPLE the monarch is “progressing well” in his treatment, and there is an “amplified confidence” in the light of the sophisticated treatment he is receiving.
“He is positive, the doctors are optimistic,” the source says.
The insider adds that King Charles isplanning for a “summer diary"but won’t commit to any engagements to heed “medical advice nearer the time.”
The King’s recent outings have been capped at smaller numbers of people, but as summer nears, more engagements could happen outside — like as Trooping the Color, the annual military parade marking the monarch’s official birthday.
“One thing that has been wholly undiminished is his appetite for work,” the royal source says about the King’s drive.
The King has continued to work behind the scenes while receiving cancer treatment, a diagnosis Buckingham Palace announced on Feb. 5.
