Queen Camilla gave a rare glimpse into King Charles’ health and healing amidst his ongoing battle with cancer. On September 3, she stepped out to fulfill her official commitment of inaugurating the new state-of-the-art Dyson Cancer Center at the Royal United Hospital in Bath, England, which provides care to over 500,000 cancer patients in South West England.
During her stop at the Macmillan Wellbeing Huba— non-clinical space meant to provide patients, families and carers with emotional and practical support —Suzy Moon of the Macmillan Partnership asked the Queen about The King’s health. “He is doing very well,” Queen Camilla replied, as reported by the Mirror.
She also visited patients and clinical staff in the Medlock Unit and William Budd inpatient ward. During her conversation with nurse and patient Paul Holdway, the Royal reportedly asked Holdway about his health, to which he admitted to feeling “tired.”
In response, the Queen quipped, “Men won’t admit it,” which may have been a reference to her husband, The King. The conversation was reported by The Mirror, who mentioned that the response was delivered with “a touch of humor.”

Throughout King Charles’ road to recovery, his wife gave tiny updates on his health, often with wit, warmth, and humor. Camilla spoke to author Lee Child at her second annual Queen’s Reading Room Literary Festival, revealing that the monarch is “doing fine except he won’t slow down and won’t do what he’s told,” as reported by The Sun.
Buckingham Palace made the announcement of The King’s cancer diagnosis in February, sending shockwaves across the globe. Abiding by the doctor’s instructions, he remained out of the public eye and temporarily stepped down from active duty for three months.
A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace previously revealed that the reason The King disclosed his health crisis publicly was to raise awareness of early detection. The decision was made “in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer,” the source added. He resumed his work on April 30, accompanying his wife to visit a cancer center in London.
His most recent engagement was on August 31 at the Royal Horticultural Society of Aberdeen’s 200th Flower Show in Aberdeen, Scotland. The King and Queen have a major trip to Australia and Samoa on their calendars, which will mark their first tour visiting Commonwealth countries in his reign.

Amy Adams taps into her primal urges while navigating motherhood in Searchlight Pictures’ upcoming horror comedy Nightbitch. Based on Rachel Yoder’s eponymous novel, the story follows the life of an artist who puts her career on hold to be a stay-at-home mom, only to discover that she’s not thrilled about her new lifestyle.
As her nightly routine “takes a surreal turn,” her maternal instinct “manifests itself in canine form,” as per the official synopsis. This film also marks Adams’ comeback to the big screens after a three-year-long hiatus, last starring in Disney’s Disenchanted, which was directly released to the streaming platform.
Originally, Nightbitch was also slated to release on Hulu, but Searchlight later gave the film a theatrical release. Esteemed writer-director Marielle Heller, known for her works in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood and Can You Ever Forgive Me?, will adapt Yoder’s acclaimed novel.
In the trailer, we get a glimpse of Adams’ character literally transforming into a dog and adapting canine instincts like devouring a tray of food in public and digging a hole in the front lawn. It can be inferred from the trailer that the film is a blend of horrifying realities and comedic elements.
It’s not just about stuffing the plot with surprising aspects but more about the protagonist’s deeply felt experience of motherhood and animalistic empowerment.
“You’re never going to be smart, happy or thin ever again,” Adam’s character says in the trailer, hinting at the internal turmoil a new mother might go through after a dynamic shift in her life. “Motherhood changes you, it connects you to some primal urges,” another character tells the protagonist.
Overall, it cleverly explores human vs. animal instincts. Interestingly, Adams’s character is not given a name, pulling her further away from humanness and letting her instincts define her being.
The three-time Oscar-winning actress has several other projects at hand, expected to roll out in the coming years. They include Kornél Mundruczó’s At the Sea, The Invite with Ant-Man actor Paul Rudd, and Klara and the Sun with Wednesday actress Jenna Ortega.
Adams is also co-producer on Nightbitch alongside director Marielle Heller, Anne Carey, Sue Naegle, Stacy O’Neil, and Christina Oh. Scoot MacNairy, Mary Holland, Jessica Harper, Zoë Chao, Ella Thomas, Stacey Swift, Archana Rajan, Adrienne Rose White, Darius De La Cruiz and Roslyn Gentle round off the cast.
Nightbitch will be released in theaters on December 6.
