Reassuring about the current state of King Charles’ health, Queen Camilla appeared as she resumed her official schedule of duties on Thursday night.

Arriving at a charity concert at Salisbury Cathedral, a member of Wiltshire’s local air ambulance service expressed his sadness at the news of the cancer diagnosis and asked how the 75-year-old royal was doing.

“He’s doing extremely well under the conditions. He is very touched by all the letters and messages the public have sent in from all over. It is very heartening,” replied the queen.

Camilla, 76, attended the event in aid of local charities despite having to travel to Salisbury in southern England from Sandringham on the east coast by road, a six-hour journey due to bad weather.
