Queen Camilla shared a touching detail on King Charles’s health with the First Lady of Ukraine.
Camilla met with Olena Zelenska, President Zelensky’s wife, at Clarence House last week.
During the meeting, the Queen spoke of the number of letters that the King is receiving following his cancer diagnosis.
Zelenska said during an interview: “She [Camilla] told me how many letters she’s getting, addressed to His Majesty. And she tries to respond to most of them.”

The King did not attend the meeting at Clarence House with the Queen as he continues to receive cancer treatment and step back from public-facing duties.
The First Lady revealed that Camilla had told her King Charles was receiving lots of supportive messages from Ukrainians, in a touching exchange.
Zelenska said: “It was very good to hear that many Ukrainians wrote support towards His Majesty because of his health.
“It’s very good to know that we have very sincere and powerful friends here in the Royal Family.”
The King has spoken out about the war in Ukraine commenting on the “indescribable aggression” faced by Ukrainians during an “unprovoked attack on their land.”
During an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Zelenska spoke of the similar expectations that the First Lady shares with the Queen.
According to the Sun, Zelenska said: “It would be difficult to compare our activities, but there are expectations from the public and you feel that, and you have to rise to those expectations.
“And in this sense, I guess, there’s an affinity.”

Prince William also spoke out about the war in Ukraine during a visit to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London in 2022.
The prince said: “Everyone is horrified by what they are seeing. It’s really horrifying.”
Zelenska continued: “Those were shocking days after the start of the large-scale invasion and every sign of support was very important to us, for us to understand that we were not alone in this tragedy.
“I don’t know what would have happened if we hadn’t seen signs like that. I think we would have been more lost and disoriented.”
