With King Charles III sidelined by cancer treatments back in England, Queen Camilla headed to Northern Ireland for an official visit — solo — in March.
The monarch's wife of nearly 19 years attended an event to mark World Poetry Day and met some of the British country's artisan and family producers including owners and staff from Coffey's Butchers Knotts Bakery and Arcadia Delicatessen.
She also shared an update on the king's health, telling a shop assistant, "He's doing very well. He was very disappointed he couldn't come," HELLO! magazine reported.
