Queen Camilla speaks for first time about King Charles's cancer diagnosis

Queen Camilla has spoken publicly for the first time about King Charles III's cancer diagnosis, describing the period around the disclosure as extremely difficult. In an interview, Camilla said it was hard to keep the diagnosis secret after it was confirmed in January 2024, and that the weight of that secret placed enormous pressure on her and those around the King. She praised Charles's resilience, saying he never lost his sense of humour throughout treatment. Camilla said the experience had deepened her appreciation for the NHS and for the medical teams who cared for the King. The diagnosis, which was initially revealed in February 2024, prompted an outpouring of public support for the monarch and led to a broader national conversation about cancer awareness. Charles has since returned to public duties. Camilla's interview is expected to be broadcast as part of a documentary series about the Royal Family's experiences with illness and recovery.
