In a new video for the Maggie's cancer charity ahead of its 30th anniversary, Queen Camilla opened up for the first time about the experience of keeping King Charles’ cancer diagnosis a secret before it was announced to the public, saying it was "difficult."
When speaking to the charity’s executive, Dame Laura Lee, Queen Camilla admitted: "I remember coming to see Maggie’s just after the King had been diagnosed. Nobody could say anything at the time. That was quite difficult."
Indeed, back in January 2024, she carried on with her royal duties, opening the Maggie’s center at the Royal Free Hospital in London, even though she was already aware of Charles’ illness and the news had not yet been officially announced to the public.
"I almost said something but, you know, I felt that it wasn’t the time to say. [I] looked at everybody who was suffering and all the relations and I think it made me realize even more how important these places were."
As of now, King Charles still continues to receive cancer treatment. Sources suggest that he is progressing in a positive direction.
