Queen Camilla had a poignant response when she was asked for an update on King Charles' health. Days before the King's cancer diagnosis was announced, on Wednesday, January 31, she attended the official launch of Maggie's cancer support centre at London's Royal Free Hospital.
As the Queen, 76, toured the new £6m centre, hospital donor Sir Gerald Ronson asked after 75 year old Charles' health. He asked: "How's the boss doing?" "He's getting on, doing his best," the Queen replied.
Dori Dana-Haeri, who led the fundraising effort for the new centre, said she was "so pleased" Charles, 75, was well. Queen Camilla nodded as she said: "Thank goodness." The King revealed on Monday, February 5, that he has been diagnosed with cancer and will start treatment immediately.
Family and friends were said to be amazed by his determination to carry on with "business as usual". It is understood his cancer has been caught very early and the prognosis is good, according to MailOnline.
