King Charles' cancer diagnosis brings Harry back to UK as announcement rocks royals
Historian and author Gareth Russell reacts to Harry visiting King Charles after cancer diagnosis and what it means for the royal family on 'The Story with Martha MacCallum.'
Queen Camilla is sharing an update on King Charles after Buckingham Palace announced his cancer diagnosis earlier this week.
On Thursday, Camilla resumed her royal duties and attended Salisbury Cathedral for a night filled with music that supported local charities.
"He is doing extremely well under the circumstances," Camilla said, according to the Daily Mail. "He is very touched by all of the letters and messages the public have been sending from everywhere. That’s very cheering."

On Monday, the palace issued a statement revealing Charles' current health status after being treated for an enlarged prostate.

Charles was "advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties" while undergoing a series of "regular treatments," a statement from the palace said. It's unclear what cancer diagnosis His Majesty received.
"Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual," a statement said.
"The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible."

The announcement stated that Charles chose to share his diagnosis to "prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer."
Camilla has been by the king's side during his recent health issues.
One day prior to announcing his cancer diagnosis, the king made his first public appearance since receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate. The British monarch waved to well-wishers outside of St. Mary Magdalene Church near Sandringham with his wife.
Prince William has also stayed committed to his royal duties.
