00:00 Queen Camilla is sharing an update on King Charles III following his cancer diagnosis.
00:05 After Buckingham Palace announced on February 5th that the British monarch was diagnosed with cancer,
00:11 Queen Camilla gives an update on his well-being as he battles an undisclosed form of the disease.
00:18 She tells CBS News during a public outing on February 8th, the King is doing quote "extremely well under the circumstances."
00:28 Charles is quote "very touched by all of the letters and messages the public have been sending from everywhere."
00:34 And according to his wife, the 75-year-old finds the well wishes quote "very cheering."
00:40 This is the latest update on the King since he was last seen with Camilla on February 6th
00:46 when he traveled from Clarence House to Buckingham Palace. The day before on February 5th,
00:52 Buckingham Palace released a statement that read,
00:55 "During the King's recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted.
01:02 Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.
01:06 His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments,
01:10 during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public facing duties."
01:16 Adding, "The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention,
01:21 which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure."
01:25 He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.
01:32 A day after this announcement, Prince Harry, who previously stepped down from his royal duties, left his home in California
01:39 and arrived in London to pay his dad a visit amid his cancer diagnosis.
01:44 Although the Duke of Sussex reportedly only stayed in town for 24 hours,
01:50 royal correspondent Sharon Carpenter believes Charles's medical concerns could help bring the family together as his children rally around the patriarch.
01:58 She told E! News, "This could be a moment of healing for father and son and perhaps brother and brother as well.
02:06 I think when it comes down to it, this is a family that certainly had their differences and some deep divides,
02:12 but they do love each other. I think that comes out in a number of ways."
02:17 Prince William is also stepping up his public duties while his dad focuses on treatment, attending an investiture ceremony
02:24 at Windsor Castle on February 7th. Following the event, the Prince and Princess of Wales Instagram
02:30 noted that the outing was all about, "honoring amazing people,
02:35 doing incredible things in our communities up and down the country."
