King Charles has shaken hands with members of the public, in his first significant public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer.

He's attended the annual Easter Sunday service in Windsor with his wife Queen Camilla.

Prince William, Princess Catherine and their children weren't in attendance, due to Catherine's ongoing cancer battle.

Royal correspondent Russell Myers says it was a slimmed down congregation.

"Very much in keeping with the King's desire to try and keep up with duties, he's had a scaled-down schedule and that's definitely to minimise the risk of infection."
