Queen Consort Camilla's recent visit to the newly inaugurated Dyson Cancer Centre in Bath, England, was not only a momentous occasion for the healthcare community but also a touching opportunity for her to connect with cancer patients and their families.

During her visit, the Queen Consort provided a reassuring update on King Charles's health, which comforted many who hold the royal family close to their hearts.

The Queen Consort’s engagement at the Royal United Hospitals was her first public appearance since her summer break at Balmoral with King Charles.

The significance of the visit was heightened by the King's own battle with an undisclosed form of cancer, diagnosed in February.

Despite the lack of official updates in recent weeks, King Charles has been responding positively to treatment, surpassing even his doctors' most optimistic expectations.

The Dyson Cancer Centre, which opened its doors to patients in April, is a beacon of hope and innovation, providing comprehensive cancer services to over half a million people in the South West.

The centre, which began construction in 2021, was made possible through the generosity of more than 11,000 donors who raised over £10 million ($19.5 million AUD), supplemented by an additional £40 million ($78.2 million AUD) in government funding.

During her visit, Queen Consort Camilla toured the Macmillan Wellbeing Hub, a sanctuary within the centre designed to offer non-clinical support to those affected by cancer.

It was here that she met Suzy Moon from the Macmillan Partnership and shared the encouraging news about King Charles's health: ‘He is doing very well.’

Her Majesty's conversations with patients like Paul Holdway, a nurse receiving a stem cell transplant, were marked by empathy and warmth.

She even engaged in a light-hearted exchange with Holdway, humorously commenting on the common reluctance among men to admit to feeling tired.

‘How are you feeling?’ Queen Consort Camilla asked.

'I am feeling very tired,’ Holdway replied.

‘Men won't admit it,’ Queen Consort Camilla responded.

The Queen Consort's attire for the day was both elegant and meaningful, featuring a sleek blow-out, and glamorous jewellery, including a Van Cleef bangle and a friendship bracelet—a popular accessory among royals lately.

The visit also included a tour of the William Budd inpatient ward, where Her Majesty met with in-patients and clinical staff, and a reception in the Main Atrium with those involved in the centre's construction and other staff members.

The Queen Consort's unveiling of a plaque officially opened the Dyson Cancer Centre, marking a new chapter in cancer care for the region.

Following her time at the cancer centre, Queen Consort Camilla visited Stonegate Farmers in Lacock, where she met with the team and learned about their work.

The Queen Consort's interest in the egg factory, which handles 18 million eggs weekly, was evident as she joked with the staff and inquired about the operations.

'How many of them get smashed?' Queen Consort asked.

'Too many, I can't tell you,’ Adrian Gott, Chief Executive Officer, replied.

She is apparently a very lovely down to earth lady who works very hard for the Monarchy.

We can't forget it was Diana The Princess of Wales who was the first one to visit hospital wards of cancer patients and patients with Aides .

I would love a paid job where I spent my time visiting hospital wards and bringing cheer to sick and lonely patients .

When I was able to I volunteered to read to sick children in hospital. It's amazing how many kids are alone in hospital for long periods of time.

I know many people who volunteer either in hospitals or soup kitchens.

The Royals get paid to visit these places .

Difference between Camilla and Diana was Diana would roll up her sleeves and get involved . How many aids people did she hug and spend time with. How many kids did she feed . Diana will always be remembered as The people's princesses

Yes, I believe that to be true and I feel we don't need to be continually comparing her to Diana.
The past is the past. Different time, different place.
As a royal Diana was also paid to visit these places, that is their job.
They get paid as we all do for doing our job.

i watched this, i do not think she said anymore than said previously, HE IS DOING WELL. I hope it continues. I admire Queen Camilla and I for one am so pleased that she and the King found their happiness together. Be it royalty or commoners love conquer alls.

who do you think visited the men and women of ww2? diana was not the first. aides was not around bacck then. i find your remark about payment and the rolling up of sleeves unpleasant. Diana was 20ish Camilla is 70ish. no differenc as Camilla was not on the scene then. I will remember Diana as being someone who went through a few men herself.

I was a member of our Church Care Group over 30 years ago and used to visit Residents in Aged Care homes, provide transport for people to attend doctors appointments and drive Residents to Mass on Sundays.

Oh Camilla was on the scene or should I say still on the scene. She was the one having an affair with Diana's husband. Which ended up being the reason Diana found other partners.

Please enlighten me with what other Royals visited and hugged fectious people. I remember hearing Diana was the first to visit people who were infectious and hugged them. At that time not much was known about Aids.

Not sure why you found my comment unpleasant! It's true they get paid for visiting hospitals and it's true I have only seen Diana rolling up her sleeves , hugging, spending time with the sick. Let's not forget the point she made with those land minds

I'm waiting on your reply

And how good is it for your soul. I would love nothing more than to start my own soup kitchen

Yes, but check out the age differences too...!

I think Diana would have still been doing it. Age has no barrier to hugging someone

Finally Camilla is referred to by her proper title of Queen Consort. If she was Queen she would rule after Charles dies but she won't as William will take the throne. She should always be referred to her proper place as Consort.

If King Charles were to die William would rule, as first in the line of succession.
Camilla would then be Queen Dowager as the royal widow has always been known.
There have been many Queens in the past. They did not rule when they became widows.
The first in line of succession always rules.
You really do have a bee in your bonnet about Camilla.
The past is the past.

Why does Camilla remind you of alcohol ? .Poor Camilla she doesn't deserve it

Turner & Hooch (the movie).
Although a lot of alcohol would be handy (wink wink nudge nudge say no more).

What or who is Hooch.The only Hooch I've heard of is "pot"and I don't know what that's got to do with Camilla

At least Camilla's appearance far exceeds the manners of some of the people on this site.
