King Charles has arrived at Clarence House as the Monarch continues his treatment for cancer.
The monarch appeared to be in a positive mood as he was pictured arriving back at the royal residence late on Tuesday morning.
The 75-year-old is not carrying out public duties while he has treatment but is continuing with behind-the-scenes work on state papers.
While he steps back from official visits, other members of the royal family have stepped up to take on extra duties.
Queen Camilla has been holding down the fort since King Charles’ cancer diagnosis in January.
She has completed 13 official engagements solo since her husband’s condition came to light but is now expected to hand the reigns over to the Prince of Wales and Princess Anne whilst she takes a break.

The King was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer following hospital treatment for an enlarged prostate earlier this year, which was unrelated.
He was treated in the same hospital as the Princess of Wales, who underwent abdominal surgery for an unknown condition in January.
Kensington Palace said last week that Kate would return to royal engagements after Easter.
The Princess of Wales was last pictured attending a service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Norfolk in January ahead of her planned surgery.
Most recently, The Queen met Ukraine’s first lady Olena Zelenska at Clarence House on Thursday.
They were pictured in conversation as they sat in the Garden Room, with their meeting coming just days after the second anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Camilla was also pictured placing her arm behind Ms Zelenska’s back as she guided her along a hallway ahead of their meeting.
Ms Zelenska posted a video on social media showing Camilla greeting her warmly with a kiss on both cheeks and saying: ‘Hello. How very nice to see you.’
She wrote that she was ‘delighted to personally express my gratitude to Her Majesty Queen Camilla, and in her person the whole @RoyalFamily and all people of the UK for supporting (Ukraine) and our IDPs (internally displaced persons).
‘Our values are common – life, freedom, democracy. Thank you for standing up for them together today.’
The meeting also focused in on the family photos on display, including portraits of the Queen Mother, the late Queen, a teenage Prince Harry, and an image of the King cradling a baby in his arms, believed to be one of his grandchildren.
The Queen and the first lady met previously in November 2022 at a Buckingham Palace reception to raise awareness of violence against women.
Ms Zelenska was a guest at the King and Queen’s coronation last May, representing her war-torn nation with its prime minister Denys Shmyhal.

Meanwhile, The Prince Wales visited Western Marble Arch Synagogue in London on Friday to meet young people representing Jewish students and others helping to combat antisemitism.
He also spent a time with Holocaust survivor Renee Salt, 94, and held her hand after she recounted her fears about the rise in hatred and told her: ‘It must be horrible for all of you worrying about this and I’m sorry it’s got to this…it will get better.’
The future king’s visit to the synagogue came after he called for the fighting in the Israel-Hamas war to end ‘as soon as possible’ and increased humanitarian support for Gaza, during a visit last week to the London headquarters of the British Red Cross.
William heard the personal evidence of the young people who spoke about how Jewish students across the country have been affected by the rise of hatred on the streets of Britain which had created a ‘climate of fear’.
He told them: ‘Well, you’ve heard it from me, antisemitism has no place in society, you’ve heard that from me OK – I’ve said that before and I’ll say it again.

‘And hearing all … your lived experiences both Catherine and I are extremely concerned about the rise in antisemitism that you guys have talked about so eloquently this morning, and I’m just so sorry you’ve had to experience that, it has no place and it shouldn’t happen.
‘So that’s why I’m here today to reassure you all that people do care, people do listen and we can’t let that keep going.’
