Less than a week after Kate Middleton announced her cancer diagnosis, Queen Camilla is now offering an update on the Princess of Wales’ condition.
While visiting a farmer’s market as part of an official royal event in Shrewsbury, England, the Queen told two young Middleton supporters that the Princess “will be very thrilled” to receive signs that read, “Send our love to Kate, hi, Camilla.”
Queen Camilla also vowed to send the signs to Kate Middleton. “I’ll make sure she knows they’ve come from you,” she told 10-year-old Harriet and 6-year-old Lois.

Camilla is notably one of the few senior royals who is still attending official events. Both Kate and King Charles III are receiving treatment for cancer.
The King’s diagnosis was made public last month. Buckingham Palace made the official announcement.
“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties,” the statement reads. “Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.”
Kate Middleton announced in a video, which was posted on X (formerly Twitter) that her doctors discovered she had cancer following her abdominal surgery in mid-January.
“My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy,” Middleton shared. “And I am now in the early stages of that treatment. This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”
