Camilla arrived at Maggie's Cheltenham centre in Gloucestershire yesterday afternoon to mark the organisation’s 30th anniversary.

Just over a month ago, the King, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2024, shared the good news that his schedule of treatment was being reduced in the new year, describing it as a “personal blessing”.

Camilla’s official engagement took place on the same day her stepson the Duke of Sussex started giving evidence in London as part of his High Court battle against the publisher of the Mail over alleged unlawful information gathering.

Halliwell-Horner was invited as a guest for Camilla’s visit as she is a supporter of Maggie's.

The Queen arrived under a clear umbrella due to the rain.
