Queen Camilla to continue full programme of activities

Queen is president of cancer charity Maggie's and opened its new centre after she knew of king's diagnosis

Even before her husband the king received his diagnosis, Queen Camilla had been showing support to many people living with cancer.

She has been president of the cancer support charity Maggie's for more than 15 years and frequently talks to patients and staff at their facilities, most recently last Wednesday, when she opened a new centre at the Royal Free hospital in London. As we now know, she had already been told about her husband's illness.
