Queen Camilla undertook an incredibly poignant engagement just a few days before King Charles’s diagnosis became public.
Setting a new royal precedent, King Charles has shared several candid health updates so far this year, including the news that he had been diagnosed with cancer. This had been “identified” during His Majesty’s recent stay in hospital where he received treatment for a “benign prostate enlargement”, but is a “separate issue” and not prostate-related. Although the news was only made public on 5th February, it’s understood that he and the Queen knew days earlier and reports have claimed Queen Camilla was already aware when she undertook a special engagement.
