The British royal family is experiencing one of the toughest moments in its recent history. The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, underwent abdominal surgery a few weeks ago that, it seems, ended up being complicated, and the latest information about her state of health is not entirely positive. For her part, this week it came to light that the monarch, Carlos III, suffers from cancer. In the last few hours, his wife, Queen Camilla, has reappeared publicly at her first official event, and has spoken out for the first time regarding this setback.
It was last Monday, February 5, when the sovereign announced that he suffers from cancer. Due to this health setback, the father of Princes Henry and William has been forced to postpone his public duties in order to undergo the treatment scheduled by his doctors, which has already begun. After this announcement, the king’s wife, Camilla, had also stayed away from public events, staying by her husband’s side.
However, this has changed in recent hours. The Queen Consort has resumed her professional commitments and traveled from Sandringham to Salisbury to visit the cathedral and attend a charity musical event. The truth is that the visit has not been without problems, since due to the weather conditions, Camila had to change the planned trip by plane and replace it with a six-hour drive.
On the other hand, the queen spoke for the first time about the king’s state of health. “Given the circumstances, he is doing extremely well. He is very touched by all the letters and messages that the public has been sending from everywhere. That is very encouraging,” Camila explained. These are new statements that give new details about how King Carlos III is experiencing this delicate downturn in his health.
“She did not want to disappoint the king, having assured that she would continue with her schedule of official engagements,” a source close to the queen explained to the press. Camila’s determination to attend this event, even with time problems, is a sign that she seeks to continue normally with her commitments, despite the fact that the king will have to be away from them for a while. On the other hand, this was supposed to be a personal commitment, since the organizer is a friend.
The words of the queen consort are similar to the first words of Prince William at the London Air Ambulance NGO gala, where he thanked them for their expressions of affection. “I’ve been pretty focused on medical issues, so I came to an air ambulance event to unwind,” he told actor Tom Cruise, who was also at the event. As we said before, it is a particularly difficult time for the British royal family, since both Camilla and William will have to assume all institutional responsibility, because Charles III and Kate are going through a health downturn.
