King doing 'extremely well', says Queen as monarch undergoes cancer treatment

The Queen has said the King is "doing extremely well", as the monarch continues his cancer treatment.

Queen Camilla said at a musical evening at Salisbury cathedral that the King is very "touched" by the messages from the public.

She said: "He is doing extremely well under the circumstances.

"He is very touched by all of the letters and messages the public have been sending from everywhere.

"That's very cheering."

The King's cancer treatment as an outpatient started earlier this week, and he returned, with the Queen, to his Sandringham home in Norfolk on Tuesday after seeing Harry.

The Duke of Sussex returned to his family in California after he is said to have spent about 45 minutes with his father.

Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales has returned to royal duties for the first time following his wife's abdominal operation and the King's diagnosis.

Arriving at a gala for the London Air Ambulance Service in central London on Wednesday night, the Prince of Wales waved to people gathered outside and said: "We really appreciate everyone's kind messages, thank you."

Inside, he gave a speech and again thanked everyone for "kind messages".

The King has postponed all public-facing duties, although he is continuing with work on his red boxes of state papers.
