Queen Consort Camilla Playfully Addresses King Charles’s Health and Relentless Work Ethic
Queen Camilla recently provided a rare health update about her husband, King Charles, while also humorously complaining about his habits.
The Queen Consort made an unexpected appearance at the Queen’s Reading Room Festival, just before the Trooping the Colour event, where she spoke about the monarch’s current condition.
During a conversation with author Lee Child, Camilla revealed that Charles is being treated for an undisclosed type of cancer.
She assured everyone that the King is “doing fine,” but playfully lamented that he “won’t slow down and won’t do what he’s told.” In response to her light-hearted complaint, Child quipped that Charles’s behavior sounds like that of a “typical husband.”
This update follows comments from a source close to Camilla, who expressed concern over the King’s health and well-being to The Mirror.
The insider shared that Camilla has been quite stressed about Charles‘s relentless schedule, particularly since he resumed his official duties after a brief hiatus.
The source mentioned, “She has been trying to encourage him to slow down. Of course, he wants to keep cracking on, but she is afraid that doing too much could set him back.”
Despite her efforts, there seems to be no indication that Charles is willing to reduce his workload.
The insider added, “There is no sign of him easing off the accelerator. If anything, he is even more determined to pack as much in as he can.”
This determination to stay busy has only increased, despite the potential risks to his health, highlighting Camilla’s ongoing worry for the King’s well-being.
