Queen Camilla is opening up about her husband King Charles's health—and fortunately, it's good news.

Yesterday, while opening the Dyson Cancer Center at the Royal United Hospital, the queen shared a rare update about the king, who has undergone seven months of cancer treatment following his diagnosis. Per Mirror magazine, the 77-year-old royal met with several patients and staff members while touring the new facility, and when Suzy Moon, who works at Macmillan Partnership, asked about her husband, she replied, "He is doing very well."

During her visit to the Medlock Unit and William Budd inpatient ward, the queen also made a playful remark that doubled as a subtle reference to her husband while engaging with Paul Holdway, a patient undergoing a stem cell transplant for blood cancer. When the royal asked how he felt, Holdway replied, "I am feeling very tired." In response, the Queen quipped, "Men won’t admit it."

In addition, Queen Camilla attended a reception in the Main Atrium, where she met with workers and supporters who were involved in this project.

This isn't the first time the queen has shared an update about her husband's well-being. If you recall, she offered a brief update in March while visiting the Arcadia food store in Belfast. Per Hello! magazine, a shop assistant gave the royal a get-well card for His Majesty. After the queen accepted the card on her husband’s behalf, she said the king is “doing very well,” adding that, “he was very disappointed he couldn't come.”

Fortunately, the king has since returned to his royal duties, and the queen's latest update comes just a day after he visited the Royal Horticultural Society of Aberdeen’s Flower Show at Duthie Park.

The royal family shared a few highlights from the event on Instagram, featuring pics of the king smiling and engaging with fans. The caption reads, "Marking the 200th anniversary of the summer flower show, The King met exhibitors and RHSA members, and viewed floral displays, including vegetables entered in the National Vegetable Society Scottish Group competition."

Good to see that His Majesty is well and in great spirits.
