The king is doing well and doing his best after his three-night stay in hospital, the queen said today.
Camilla, 76, was asked how her husband was doing as she officially opened a new Maggie’s cancer support center at the Royal Free Hospital in North West London.
She met donors including Sir Gerald Ronson, who asked about the king’s health following his treatment for an enlarged prostate.
“He’s making progress and doing his best,” she replied.
Dori Dana-Haeri, who led fundraising for the new center, said she was “so happy” that Charles, 75, was doing well.
Queen Camilla nodded as she said, “Thank God.”

Supporter Sir Michael Pakenham added: ‘All best wishes to His Majesty for the very best recovery.’
Camilla replied: ‘Thank you very much, that’s very kind. I’ll pass it on.’
The King was discharged from the London Clinic on Monday and appeared in good spirits as he left the hospital with his wife by his side.
The engagement on Wednesday marked Camilla’s 17th visit to a Maggie’s center and her first as queen.
She has been president of Maggie’s since 2008.
“I try to walk around them, but every time another one pops up, so I can never quite catch up,” she joked.
The King’s wife, who was greeted by curators from the Royal Collection Trust, enjoyed a short tour of the house before seeing the 20 works created to celebrate the 100th anniversary.
These include beautiful miniature manuscripts, painstakingly written and decorated by hand.
They were bound by leading designer bookbinders – ‘as part of the anniversary initiative to create a modern miniature library, providing a snapshot of contemporary literature in Britain’.

Charles smiled and waved as he was released from hospital on Monday, three days after undergoing a successful procedure for an enlarged prostate.
Wearing a gray suit and blue coat, Charles appeared steadfast as he walked out of the London Clinic in Marylebone with Queen Camilla at his side after three nights of observation.
The 75-year-old monarch was admitted to the private hospital around 9am last Friday morning where he underwent a corrective procedure for the benign condition.
It comes just hours after his daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, left the same clinic two weeks after a planned abdominal operation.
