Queen Camilla shares update on Kate Middleton

Queen Camilla has shared an update on Kate Middleton's wellbeing while chatting to the public during a royal engagement. 

While attending the Farmers’ Market in Shrewsbury on Wednesday, hundreds of royal fans gathered to catch a glimpse of Camilla, and to pass on their well wishes for the Princess of Wales in the wake of her cancer diagnosis. 

Two young girls greeted Queen Camilla with handmade posters that read "Send our love to Kate".

Camilla promised she would pass the message on before telling the crowd, “I know that Catherine is thrilled by all the kind wishes and support.”

The update comes in the days after Kate's shocking announcement that cancer had been detected during a planned surgery in January. 

In an emotional video message to royal fans, the Princess of Wales shared that she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy and thanked members of the public who had been concerned about her health. 

In the moving clip, the 42-year-old royal she said her diagnosis was a “huge shock” but vowed she was “going to be OK”.

Camilla was said to be a pillar of support and in regular contact with Kate following her diagnosis.

The 76-year-old has also been Charles’ “rock” following his own cancer shock and wants to be as supportive for Kate.

The Queen has continued to carry out all of her royal duties and attended many events by herself after urging Charles to slow down.
