Queen Camilla did not join King Charles in hospital for "a short period of observation" on March 27 after experiencing s ide effects from his cancer treatment. King Charles, 76, cancelled his engagements in Birmingham on Friday on medical advice to prioritise his recovery but is now back at Clarence House.

Charles and Camilla—who tied the knot on April 9, 2005—are reportedly comfortable with alone time. Ingrid Seward, the editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, revealed to The Sun 's Fabulous, "They actually spend quite a lot of time apart." She continued, "Ray Mill House [in Wiltshire] is Camilla's sort of release from royal life, if you like."
