Camila, the sovereign's wife, finally spoke about Carlos's health after it was revealed that she has cancer.
Queen Camilla attended a charity concert at Salisbury Cathedral on Thursday, the first of many official events she will have to undertake alone after King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer.
The royal family announced through a spokesperson that the British sovereign began the corresponding treatment this Monday to overcome his illness, which has led the queen consort and the crown prince, William, to replace the monarch in his official commitments.
Camila breaks the silence after Carlos' cancer diagnosis
As expected, Camila received numerous questions and expressions of affection given the delicate moment that her husband is going through.
With a shy smile and apparently relaxed, the queen thanked everyone in attendance for their words of affection and thus broke the silence on the state of health of the head of state, crowned last May.
"He is doing extremely well, given the circumstances. We are very touched by all the letters and messages," she said while chatting to Ben Abbot, a 40-year-old paramedic who works with the Wiltshire air emergency service.
The recital, in which renowned pianist Rupert Egerton-Smith performed, aimed to raise funds and awareness of the work carried out by various non-profit organizations in the area.
According to the testimonies collected by the local press, Camila maintained a friendly and outgoing attitude at all times, speaking with the representatives of the various associations and, once the show was over, effusively congratulating the artists.
This is her first public meeting since the shocking news regarding the health of the king, who was diagnosed with cancer, the type of which has not been revealed, shortly after undergoing an operation to solve the problems derived from the enlargement of his his prostate.
On Tuesday, the former Duchess of Cornwall took a helicopter to the family estate in Sandringham, after meeting Prince Harry for just over 40 minutes.
The king's youngest son quickly traveled from California to London to speak personally with his father and show her his full support. However, on Wednesday night, the Duke of Sussex was already back home, without having even seen his brother William, with whom he currently has an icy relationship.
