King Charles III’s office sprang into action shortly after Princess Kate’s heartfelt message, posting 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 posted the video to the royal family’s official Instagram account, showing the Queen spending time with children.
The video was accompanied by a statement: “This new library, which houses more than 500 books, is the 2,000th to open as part of the Libraries for Primary initiative.”
She added: “From The Famous Five to The Tiger Who Came to Tea, it was wonderful to hear students and teachers share their favorite stories.”
The Queen’s video comes minutes after Catherine issued a personal message about the “fear and exhaustion” of fighting 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 seeking a path to recovery.
“Cancer affects many lives. Not only the patients, but also the families, friends and caregivers who walk by their side.”
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.”
He continued: “Today is a reminder of the importance of care, understanding and hope. Know that you are not alone.”
