King Charles waves to royal fans as he returns to Clarence House after trip to ... trends now
King Charles cheerfully waved to royal fans and tourists today as he left Clarence House after returning from a short trip to Scotland with Queen Camilla where they celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary.
Pulling out of his central London home in his maroon state Bentley limousine the monarch, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, appeared in high sprits.
Excited royal watchers took photos of Charles as he passed, with many appearing shocked that they had been so lucky to get a glimpse of the King in real life.
Charles and Queen Camilla had returned from their short stay on the Balmoral Estate in Aberdeenshire last night. It was his first visit to the country since he revealed his diagnosis and sent shockwaves around the world.
Whilst receiving treatment the King largely stepped back from his public facing duties, however, has continued to read his daily red boxes and have his weekly audience with the Prime Minister.

In the coming weeks, however, it is understood Charles plans to 'ramp up his schedule'.
It comes after the King made an appearance alongside other senior royals at the Easter Sunday service at Sandringham, providing a much needed boost to the British public coming to terms with both his and the Princess of Wales' cancer diagnosis.
The King was seen shaking hands and chatting to those royal fans who had lined the nearby road, with many wishing him well with one royal fan telling Charles 'never give in'.
On Thursday night the King and Queen arrived at Aberdeen Airport from RAF Northolt in north-west London on Thursday evening, Charles and Camilla travelled to Birkenhall.
They were seen heading to Sunday service at Crathie Kirk over the weekend, smiling as they drove past.
Birkenhall was the home of the late Queen Mother on the Balmoral Estate and later came into the King's possession.
It is seven miles away from the castle and is where the King and Queen spent their honeymoon after tying the knot on April 11 2005.
The monarch, as with his daughter-in-law Kate, has not disclosed what type of cancer he is fighting.
