Queen Camilla provided a much-needed ray of hope to supporters of King Charles when she shared a rare update on the monarch’s health while opening the Dyson Cancer Centre at Royal United Hospitals (RUH) Bathroom NHS Foundation Trust Confidence. The Queen Consort appeared in good spirits as she reassured the public about her husband’s condition.
When asked about King Charles’ health during her visit, Camilla smiled and answered“She’s doing very well,” he said, reassuring the monarch as she continues her cancer treatment. The rare update comes amid growing concerns about the monarch’s wellbeing.
Camilla met with patientsstaff and supporters of the state-of-the-art cancer centre, which is expected to significantly improve the lives of more than 500,000 people in south-west England. One touching moment during her visit was a playful exchange with Paul Holdway, a 55-year-old nurse undergoing a stem cell transplant for blood cancer. When Holdway admitted to feeling “very tired”, Camilla humorously replied: “Men don’t admit it” – a light-hearted nod to her husband’s own health problems.
While Camilla’s comments were reassuring, recent reports suggest she is concerned about King Charles’ refusal to slow down despite his diagnosis. insider“She’s been trying to encourage him to slow down. Of course, he wants to keep going, but she’s afraid that doing too much will set him back.”
The source added“There has been a lot of talk about the King being fine and back at work, but he has cancer. He is not well.” The Queen Consort’s efforts to get King Charles to take things easy have been met with resistance as the monarch is known for his tireless work ethic.
“Camilla has been telling him to take a break, but he is a workaholic and won’t listen to her,” the source shared. As King Charles continues to balance his duties with his health issues, Camilla’s update offered reassurance to the public, noting that the monarch remains committed to his responsibilities as he navigates his treatment.
