The King is in good spirits and is “looking forward to getting back to work,” the Queen has revealed.
Camilla, 76, was asked about her husband’s welfare as she attended an official royal engagement at an Aberdeen art gallery – the first since it emerged that the family was facing an unprecedented double health blow.
The visit came less than 24 hours after Buckingham Palace announced that Charles, 75, was suffering with an enlarged prostate and will be admitted to hospital next week for a “corrective procedure.”
“He’s fine, thank you very much,” the Queen told the Lord Provost, Dr David Cameron. “Looking forward to getting back to work.”
The King was forced to cancel engagements scheduled for today and tomorrow at Dumfries House in Ayrshire after suffering from symptoms linked to his condition.
He was diagnosed on Wednesday after attending a check-up earlier in the week having developed symptoms.
