A few days ago, Queen Camilla, the wife of the British monarch, said on Thursday that his condition was “very good,” in her first public appearance since her 75-year-old husband was diagnosed with cancer.
Speaking to one of the people who came to pay tribute at a charity event at Salisbury Cathedral in southern England, Camilla said that Charles was touched by the messages of support from the public.
She added that the king “is doing very well under the circumstances… He has been deeply moved by all the letters and messages sent by the public from everywhere. This is very heartening.”
Charles’s son and heir to the throne, Prince William, thanked the British public, on Wednesday, for their friendly messages to his father and his wife, Kate, who recently underwent surgery.
Kate, 42, underwent abdominal surgery on January 16 and then spent two weeks in hospital recovering.
Charles has since undergone treatment for an enlarged prostate before Buckingham Palace announced on Monday that subsequent tests on the king revealed that he had a type of cancer.
With the King postponing his public duties due to his treatment and Kate not expected to return to her duties until after Easter, the greatest burden falls on the remaining members of the royal family, especially William and Camilla, to represent the royal presence in the public sphere, according to what Reuters reported.
