 Kate Middleton isn't the only member of the Royal Family grappling with cancer.

Last month, King Charles III received a similar diagnosis and, despite health challenges that have kept him away from public events for weeks, he is expected to make an appearance for Easter this Sunday.

The Royal Easter service will have a different feel this year. Both the monarch and Queen Camilla will sit separately from the main congregation at St. George's Chapel on March 31 to protect his health, as confirmed by The Telegraph.

Traditionally, the Monarchs are to be accompanied by the King's sister, Princess Anne, and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, along with Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, and her daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice. 

This year, Prince William and Kate Middleton will also likely not be in attendance due to Middleton's ongoing cancer treatment.

Charles, whose cancer diagnosis was disclosed in February, was advised by his medical team to defer public engagements during his treatment, according to statements from Buckingham Palace. 

This will be his most prominent appearance since his cancer diagnosis was made public.
