The Queen has given a health update on the King as Prince Harry has been joking with a crowd in the US, just hours after his dash to the UK to reunite with his father.
Camilla was asked about Charles as she celebrated the work of charities at Salisbury Cathedral on Thursday evening in her first public engagement since her husband’s shock cancer diagnosis announcement. She replied: “He’s doing extremely well under the circumstances.”
The Duke of Sussex, meanwhile, made no mention of his father during his speech made in a surprise appearance at an NFL awards ceremony in Las Vegas.
Harry, 39, flew from Los Angeles to London on Monday evening after his father personally called him to share the health news. He was pictured on Tuesday arriving at Clarence House, where he reportedly spent under an hour with the 75-year-old monarch before returning home to California on Wednesday, having had no contact with his estranged brother Prince William.
It comes after the Prince of Wales spoke about his father’s diagnosis for the first time on Wednesday, expressing gratitude to the public for their support during a fundraising gala dinner.
Queen says King doing ‘extremely well’
The Queen has said the King is doing “extremely well under the circumstances” after his cancer diagnosis, as she celebrated the work of charities at Salisbury Cathedral.
Camilla left Charles at Sandringham to fulfil her royal engagement tonight and among the first people she met were medical staff from Wiltshire Air Ambulance.
Ben Abbott, 40, a critical care paramedic, said: “I do hope His Majesty is doing well Ma’am, we’re all really sad to hear the news.”
Camilla replied: “Well he’s doing extremely well under the circumstances.
“He’s very touched by all the letters and the messages the public have been sending from everywhere – that’s very cheering.”

Latest ruling in Mirror phone-hacking claims due at High Court
The latest stage of phone-hacking claims featuring the publisher of the Daily Mirror and the Duke of Sussex is set to take place at the High Court.
In December, a judge ruled that phone hacking became “widespread and habitual” at Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) titles in the late 1990s and was practised “even to some extent” during the Leveson Inquiry into press standards in 2011.
Mr Justice Fancourt also concluded that Harry’s phone was hacked “to a modest extent” by MGN, awarding him £140,600 in damages.
