Charles shook hands with the politician after having taken a brief break from official royal duties as he started treatment for cancer, which was discovered after he had an operation for an enlarged prostate.
He left Windsor Castle at around 9.30am on Tuesday (05.03.24) and met Mr Hunt for the customary royal pre-budget meeting in the Private Audience room of Buckingham Palace.
It comes after Charles last week missed the memorial service for the late King Constantine of Greece, with Prince William, 41, also pulled out of the service at the last-minute due to a “personal matter”.
Queen Camilla, 76, led the Royal Family at the service in their absence as she keeps taking on more public duties.
