Queen Camilla arrives at Royal United Hospital in Bath
Queen Camilla is officially opening a cancer centre in Bath today where she was asked how her husband King Charles was doing.
Suzie Moon, who works for MacMillan partnership asked after the 75-year-old monarch, who continues to undergo treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer. She asked: "Is he doing okay?"
The Queen replied: "Yes, he is doing very well."
Camilla beamed as she arrived at the new Dyson Cancer Centre in a forest green dress on Tuesday morning.
She officially opened the state-of-the-art cancer centre at Royal United Hospitals (RUH) Bath NHS Foundation Trust.

During her tour of the new facility at the Royal United Hospital (RUH), the Queen met with patients, staff, and supporters of the centre, which serves over 500,000 people across the South West.
The new Dyson Cancer Centre, which consolidates the majority of RUH’s cancer services, including a research hub, chemotherapy and radiotherapy services, and a 22-bed inpatient ward, officially began treating patients in April after construction commenced in 2021.
Her Majesty met a number of patients receiving treatment at the centre, including Sandra Tyler and Jill Hitchman who were both undergoing a chemotherapy session.

The Queen noticed that Sandra was wearing a specialist hat which helps to prevent hair loss.
She remarked: "You've got your ice cap on."
The cap works by reducing blood flow to the scalp, which also reduces the amount of chemotherapy medication that reaches the area. It is usually worn for 15 minutes before each chemotherapy treatment.
The Queen responded with a touch of humour and said "men won't admit it", in reference to her husband. Camilla has made no secret of her desire for the King to slow down while he continues to undergo gruelling cancer treatment.
The Queen’s visit also included a stop at the Macmillan Wellbeing Hub, a non-clinical space designed to provide practical and emotional support to patients, families, and carers.
