Queen Camilla Shares Update on King Charles's Health

While the royal family is being notoriously hush-hush about certain royals, Queen Camilla offered an update on King Charles and his cancer treatment during a solo trip to Northern Ireland today. The Queen made the trip to Belfast and took some time to visit the city’s artisanal and family-run food shops. People notes that during an appearance at Arcadia Delicatessen, she offered a quick comment on her husband's health.

"He's doing very well. He was very disappointed he couldn't come," Queen Camilla said, according to Hello! magazine. The outlet also noted that when a well-wisher told the Queen that. in general, men don't make the best patients, she joked, "I try to keep him in order."

A second stop on the trip had Queen Camilla mention her husband one more time. During an appointment at Coffey's Butcher, where the Queen picked up vegetable rolls, beef sausages, and Belfast pickle, she said that she'd be bringing home some food for the monarch.

"I shall take these back to my husband. He will really make the most of them," Queen Camilla said, though she did not mention anything about sharing the treats that she picked up later at Knotts Bakery. "She said she'd eat some of them on the way home," William Corrie, the bakery's co-owner, said.

The trip ended with an appearance at Hillsborough Castle, where the Queen commemorated World Poetry Day with a reading at an event called "Northern Ireland: Poets and Their Place." It was part of her literacy charity, The Queen’s Reading Room.

After the palace announced that King Charles had cancer back on Feb. 5, a statement explained that he'd be stepping back from public duties while he was undergoing treatment. Even with that news, the King is continuing to work behind the scenes and sources close to the royal family assure People that he's "coping well."
