Just two months after his cancer diagnosis in February 2024, King Charles returned to his royal duties like he never left. The monarch made his first public appearance at the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Center, alongside his wife Queen Camilla. Since then, he's been keeping busy with several engagements, from his solo outing at the Royal Albert Hall to his recent visit to Princess Anne's wedding venue. But now, His Majesty is making history with one of his most important royal events to date.
On Monday, the king paid a visit to the Jewish Community Center (JCC) in Krakow, Poland, then attended the commemoration service at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum and Memorial in honor of the 80th anniversary of the concentration camp's liberation. In case you're wondering why it's such a big deal, this makes King Charles the first British monarch to ever visit the historic location.
