Queen Camilla has issued an update on King Charles’s health, urging her husband to “slow down” as he continues his cancer treatment.
The monarch, 75, has been undergoing outpatient cancer treatment since revealing his diagnosis to the world in February.
Over the weekend, Queen Camilla, 76, revealed that His Majesty is “doing fine except he won’t slow down and won’t do what he’s told,” she said, per Sky News.
The royal was speaking to writer Lee Child, who joined Her Majesty at the Queen’s Reading Room Festival at Hampton Court Palace on Saturday.
In response, the novelist quipped that Charles “sounds to me like a typical husband.”
The King has been easing into public-facing duties in recent weeks, most recently traveling to France to attend the commemorative D-Day ceremony in honor of the 80th anniversary of the historic landings.
On Thursday, Charles and Camilla attended the British memorial event at Ver-Sur-Mer, Normandy, organized by the British Royal Legion.
“It is with the most profound sense of gratitude that we remember them and all who served at that critical time,” Charles said in his speech.
The King was then seen greeting several veterans before he and Camilla headed home to the UK later that day.
Palace sources confirmed that Charles would be missing the international ceremony — which took place on Friday — on the advice of doctors who are carefully monitoring his schedule.
After a weekend away from the spotlight, the King is looking to make a defiant appearance at this week’s Trooping the Colour ceremony in London.
While Charles will be at the annual event on Saturday, he’s expected to arrive to the event in a different fashion.
The monarch will be driven in a horse-drawn carriage alongside wife instead of riding on horseback as he’s done in the past.
This will be the royal family’s second Trooping the Colour ceremony since Charles was named king in May 2023.
It is still unclear if Charles’s daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, will attend the ceremony.
The Princess of Wales, 42, has been battling an unspecified form of cancer since January, and has remained largely out of the public eye since revealing her diagnosis in March.
