Mere days later, Queen Camilla, 77, visited the Dyson Cancer Center at the Royal United Hospital and gave a rare health update on the king. She told a staff member: "He is doing very well."
The queen also celebrated the 70th anniversary of Book Aid International by hosting a special reception at St James's Palace in London. Camilla, who's been serving as patron of the charity since 2022, delivered a speech and donned an elegant peacock dress for the occasion.

Prince Harry, 39, made a surprise U.K. visit and stayed at Althorp House, Princess Diana's childhood home and final resting place. He visited to attend a memorial service for Lord Robert Fellowes, and he was reportedly hosted by his uncle, Charles Spencer.
Prince William, 42, also attended the memorial service, but he and Prince Harry sat separately. Sources revealed that the two kept their distance and did not interact.
Following his summer break with Kate Middleton, William returned to his royal duties and visited the Homelessness: Reframed exhibit. The prince also brought back the infamous beard.
