King Charles is “doing fine” but “won’t slow down and won’t do what he’s told”, the Queen has told Jack Reacher novelist, Lee Child at a star-studded literary festival.
Camilla joined authors, actors and TV personalities at the Queen’s Reading Room Festival at Hampton Court Palace in Surrey on Saturday.
The 69-year-old thriller writer said Charles, "sounds to me like a typical husband," in response to the Queen's update.
The King’s appearance at a D-Day event in Portsmouth on Wednesday was his first public speech and most high-profile appearance since his cancer diagnosis.
He is expected to take part in the upcoming Trooping the Colour ceremony, but will inspect the soldiers from a carriage rather than on horseback, it is understood.
