QUEEN Camilla has told how King Charles is "fine" and "looking forward to getting back to work" as he faces prostate treatment.
The King, 75, sought treatment for an enlarged prostate and will go into hospital next week for surgery, Buckingham Palace yesterday revealed.
Her Majesty, 76, today opened a 'Safe Space' at Aberdeen Art Gallery to help people if they suspect someone is living with domestic violence.
Asked by the Lord Provost about the King, Camilla replied: "He's fine, thank you very much. Looking forward to getting back to work."
His Majesty's condition is "benign" and next week's surgery will be "a corrective procedure".
He is currently at his private home Birkhall in Aberdeenshire.

Buckingham Palace added: "In guidance: His Majesty was keen to share the details of his diagnosis to encourage other men who may be experiencing symptoms to get checked in line with public health advice."
His engagements have been postponed for a short period of recuperation, the statement said.
The King's health shock came just hours after Kensington Palace said the Princess of Wales, 42, had undergone a successful abdominal operation.
Kate's procedure - which was planned and not cancer-linked - took place at The London Clinic in the capital on Tuesday.
A statement said the mum-of-three will remain in hospital for ten to 14 days and is "unlikely" to return to public duties until after Easter.
Sources told the PA news agency on Thursday she is "doing well" but will spend up to three months recovering.
It is understood that hubby Prince William was by Kate's side on Tuesday and again on Wednesday.
He was spotted driving himself from The London Clinic in his £110,000 electric Audi RS E-tron GT on Thursday.
Kate yesterday apologised for postponing her Royal engagements following the surgery.
A statement read: "She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible."
After a "frosty journey" to a snow-nipped Aberdeen, the Queen apologised to the Lord Provost for being "a bit late".
After a private meeting with Council staff this afternoon and visiting the safe space, Her Majesty will meet members of the Aberdeen City Council Working Groups.
She will greet their partner organisations, including NHS Scotland, Police Scotland and the University of Aberdeen.
Camilla has long worked to highlight the efforts of domestic abuse charities with the aim of breaking the taboo around the subject.
