Queen Camilla is sharing insight amid Kate Middleton's health journey. 

Days after the Princess of Wales shared her cancer diagnosis, Prince Charles III's wife gave an update on how she's feeling.

After two young girls presented Camilla with cards for Kate during her visit to Shrewsbury Farmers' Market in Shropshire March 27, she noted, "I know Kate is thrilled by all the kind wishes and support."

Kate opened up about her journey last week as public speculation regarding her health and recovery continued to grow. 

"It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family," Kate explained in a video posted to social media March 22. "In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was noncancerous. The surgery was successful, however tests after the operation found cancer had been present."

The 42-year-old is the third royal to receive a cancer diagnosis in recent months, as Charles and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York have each opened up about their own battles with the disease.  

And Kate, who is in the early stages of preventative chemotherapy, further expressed needing to take the time for her and husband Prince William to help their kids Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, process the news.

"This of course came as a huge shock," she continued. "William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. It has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I am going to be ok."

Kate's health update came amid controversy over a Photoshopped image she shared for U.K. Mother's Day March 10. After the photo was pulled from prominent news sites for being manipulated, the royal took responsibility for the editing. However, her statement sparked its own wave of online jokes and memes. 

When Kate shared insight into her cancer diagnosis, many celebrities who'd poked fun at the Photoshop flub, including Blake Lively and Stephen Colbert, retracted their quips and wished her a speedy recovery. 

Kate also acknowledged her supporters in her March 22 message adding, "I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you personally for all the wonderful messages of support and your understanding whilst I've been recovering."

In a March 22 video message, the Princess of Wales shared that she'd been diagnosed with cancer after undergoing abdominal surgery in January.

"It was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful," she said before noting that tests after the operation found cancer had been present. "My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment."

After photo agencies pulled the picture Kensington Palace shared of Kate since having her abdominal surgery on March 10, the Princess of Wales addressed claims the photo was doctored. 

"Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing," she tweeted on March 11. "I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day. C."

Princess Diana's niece celebrated Mother's Day in the U.K. by sharing she and her husband Michael Lewis privately welcomed their first baby.

“It’s the joy of my life to be your mummy, little one. I love you unconditionally," she captioned her March 10 Instagram post. "Happy Mother’s Day to those who celebrate today."

After keeping up her full slate of engagements in the wake of her husband's cancer diagnosis, the palace cleared Camilla's schedule.

The Times pointed out March 2 that the 76-year-old didn't have any engagements on her calendar until March 11, when she'd be due at Westminster Abbey to observe Commonwealth Day.

The husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor and ex-boyfriend of Pippa Middleton, was found dead Feb. 25. Days later, a coroner's inquest found that he died by suicide.

While King Charles III was in the hospital for his benign prostate enlargement procedure, the royal family member was diagnosed with cancer.

"His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties," Buckingham Palace said Feb. 5. "Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible."

The Duchess of York's rep said in a statement on Jan. 21 that Sarah was recently diagnosed with malignant melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer. Several months prior, she underwent a single mastectomy to treat breast cancer.

Kensington Palace announced on Jan. 17 that Kate Middleton underwent planned abdominal surgery and was set to remain in the hospital for 10 to 14 days.

"Based on the current medical advice," the Palace said, "she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter."

Amid Kate's recovery, Prince William postponed a number of engagements as he supported his family, including the couple's three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Shortly after Kate's hospitalization was made public, Buckingham Palace shared that Charles "has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate."

"His Majesty's condition is benign and he will attend hospital next week for a corrective procedure," the statement added. "The King’s public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation."
