Queen Camilla gives health update on King Charles after enlarged prostate diagnosis
Queen Camilla said King Charles is doing ‘fine’ ahead of his treatment for an enlarged prostate.
Queen Camilla is carrying on with her royal duties one day after the palace announced King Charles III will undergo a "corrective procedure" next week for an enlarged prostate.
Camilla was spotted arriving at the Aberdeen Art Gallery in Scotland on Thursday morning. Before heading into the event, the royal greeted the crowd in a rush.
"Good morning, it was quite a frosty journey. Sorry, we're a bit late, I'm afraid," she smiled and said in a video, according to The Associated Press.

When asked, "How is His Majesty?" Queen Camilla simply replied, "He's fine, thank you very much. Looking forward to getting back to work."
After the brief encounter, Camilla made her way into the gallery for the opening of "Safe Space." The project is part of an initiative to provide help and guidance to people if they suspect someone is living with domestic abuse.

Her visit comes on the heels of Buckingham Palace’s announcement that King Charles sought treatment for an enlarged prostate "in common with thousands of men each year." It says he will require "a short period of recuperation" after the procedure.

The palace explained that the 75-year-old monarch’s condition is benign.
Charles has faced several health concerns over the years. He tested positive for COVID-19 twice – in 2020 and 2022. In 2008, the king had a "minor and routine" procedure to remove a non-cancerous growth.
The statement revealing the king's recent condition comes after Kensington Palace announced Kate Middleton, also known as Catherine, Princess of Wales, has been hospitalized for abdominal surgery.
