Queen Camilla has broken her silence about the health of her husband, King Charles, who is suffering from cancer.
Camilla made her first public appearance since Buckingham Palace announced the news last Monday, February 5.
King Charles, 75, was diagnosed with cancer shortly after undergoing prostate surgery. Officials say the monarch is under treatment and medical supervision.
What has Queen Camilla said about King Charles’ health?
Queen Camilla, 76, resumed her royal engagements on Thursday, February 8, attending a musical gala at Salisbury Cathedral in England.
The event, organized by a personal friend of the Queen, was to raise funds for several local charities.
The Queen had to brave bad weather and travel by road for six hours as bad weather prevented the planned flight.
However, she showed her determination to continue with her agenda and support charitable causes.
Arriving at the cathedral, the Queen was greeted by attendees and the media, who asked her about her husband’s condition. The Queen responded with optimism and gratitude.
“He is doing extremely well under the circumstances,” she said, according to royal reporter Rebecca English. “He is very touched by all of the letters and messages the public have been sending from everywhere. That’s very cheering.”
Wearing an elegant white coat, the queen has remained calm in the face of the difficult situation facing the royal family, which is also concerned about the health of Princess Kate, who is recovering from abdominal surgery at their Windsor residence.
