Applause and a crowd bath for Queen Camilla - a point of reference for the British royal family at this time marked by the health problems of King Charles III and those of Kate, Princess of Wales, consort of the heir to the throne William - returned today to represent the Windsor house alone on an official visit: after Northern Ireland this time in Shrewsbury, a historic town in deep England.
Hundreds of people to welcome the queen
Greeted by hundreds of people, Camilla, 76 years old, showed herself smiling and in shape, and exchanged words and smiles with several people crowded along the path of her walk to the local agricultural market headquarters, recently renovated in the heart of the city: capital of the county of Shropshire, in the English Midlands, known for the medieval center and for having given birth to Charles Darwin. Her presence appears a reassuring signal on the immediate evolution of her husband Charles's health, dealing with the treatment of a cancer announced last month but still able, as communicated yesterday by Buckingham Palace, to attend the traditional royal Easter mass on Sunday 31 (as well as to fulfill 'indoor' institutional commitments at the palace).
The sentence about Kate
As for the requests for reassurance from some subjects on the conditions of the Princess of Wales, who also revealed last week to have cancer and to be under chemotherapy, Camilla replied: «I know Catherine is thrilled for all the kind wishes and expressions of support».
