Queen Camilla has given an update on the health of King Charles amid his cancer treatment.
Visiting the Royal United Hospitals in Bath this morning to open the new Dyson Cancer Centre there, she spoke to several cancer patients and members of staff, one of whom reportedly asked her about her husband's condition.
According to The Sun, Macmillan Cancer Support worker Suzy Moon asked, 'Is he ok?', to which Camilla reportedly replied, 'Yes, he is doing very well.'
It was revealed earlier this year that 75-year-old Charles had undergone surgery on an enlarged prostate in January, with the palace saying it was a ‘corrective procedure’ and that his condition was benign.

One week later, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the surgery identified a 'separate issue of concern', with tests confirming that the royal had cancer.
A statement released at the time read: "During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted.
"Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer."
It was also revealed at the time that Charles had been receiving care as an outpatient since early February, after being forced to postpone his public duties.
In the months that followed, Buckingham Palace went on to provide an update on the monarch's wellbeing.
"His Majesty’s medical team are very encouraged by the progress made so far and remain positive about the King’s continued recovery," a statement read.
Tyla contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.
