King Charles III’s office stepped in shortly after Princess Kate’s heartfelt message, issuing an update on Queen Camilla’s latest outing.
Camilla, 78, as patron of the National Literacy Trust, has opened a new library at Christ Church CE Primary School in London.
On Wednesday, the palace released the video on the royal family’s official Instagram account, showing the queen spending time with children.
The video was accompanied by a statement: “This brand new library, home to more than 500 books, is the 2,000th to open as part of the Libraries for Primaries initiative.”
It added: “From The Famous Five to Tiger Who Came for Tea, it was wonderful to hear students and teachers sharing their favorite stories.”
The Queen’s video comes minutes after Catherine posted a personal message about the ‘fear and exhaustion’ of battling cancer.
In her message for World Cancer Day, the Princess of Wales said: “On World Cancer Day, my thoughts are with everyone facing a cancer diagnosis, undergoing treatment or making their way through recovery.
“Cancer touches so many lives. Not just patients, but the families, friends and loved ones who walk beside them.”
Her message continued: “As anyone who has experienced this journey will know, it is not linear. There are moments of fear and exhaustion. But also moments of strength, kindness and deep connection.”
She continued: “Today is a reminder of the importance of care, understanding and hope. You need to know that you are not alone.”
