UK's King Charles is doing well, says queen at cancer centre

Britain's Queen Camilla has shared a positive update on the health of her husband King Charles III during a tour of the recently opened Dyson Cancer Centre at The Royal United Hospital in Bath.

Charles, who has been undergoing treatment for cancer, had to postpone public engagements earlier this year. He resumed his public duties in April.

When asked about him, she responded, “Yes, he’s doing very well.”

Princess of Wales, Catherine, has also been in the news for her health. At 42 she began chemotherapy in late February after a cancer diagnosis. 

The queen engaged patients, clinical staff and supporters of the centre during this week's visit. She also took time to tour the Medlock Unit, where chemotherapy and day patients receive treatment, and the William Budd inpatient ward.

The centre’s construction began in 2021, with contributions from more than 11,000 donors who raised more than £10m (R234.3m) complementing £40m (R937.8m) in government funding. It opened to patients in April.
