Queen Camilla Says King Charles Won’t ‘Do What He’s Told’ amid Cancer [Video]

Queen Camilla is sharing her thoughts on King Charles‘ recovery amid cancer treatment.

Queen Camilla, 76, commented on her husband’s health at the second annual Queen’s Reading Room Literary Festival at Hampton Court Palace on June 8. While speaking to author Lee Child, the Queen said that King Charles, 75, is “doing fine except he won’t slow down and won’t do what he’s told,” The Sun reported.

According to the outlet, the writer behind the Jack Reacher series replied that the King “sounds to me like a typical husband.”

The literary festival was established following the success of the online book club Camilla launched as the Duchess of Cornwall on Instagram in January 2021, taking her key cause of literacy to social media. It became The Queen’s Reading Room charity in February 2023, “on a mission to champion literature in the U.K. and beyond.”
