Royal Family: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle told how to spend more time with Charles

On an Easter engagement, the King's niece, Princess Eugenie updated the public on her uncle's health condition, stating he is "doing well".

The Princess was asked by an ITV reporter about King Charles's health status while she was conducting an engagement for a conservation charity founded by Queen Camilla's late brother, Mark Shand.

Smiling, Princess Eugenie, 33, said to the reporter: "Thank you for asking. He's doing well."She added: "He would also be very proud today because the Elephant Family is very close to his heart too."

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is the latest political figure to wade into discussions surrounding the Princess of Wales's privacy, after it has emerged that staff at a central London hospital are under investigation for an alleged data breach surrounding her health.

The leader of the opposition has warned commentators to "butt out" and allow Princess Kate to recover from her planned abdominal surgery in privacy, after her two-week stay at the London Clinic in Marylebone back in January.

Speaking on Channel 5's Jeremy Vine show, Starmer was asked whether he felt sorry for the recovering mother of three, who has been the subject of many shocking conspiracy theories online.

Smartly dressed for the occasion, Her Majesty, Queen Camilla, gleamed in green as she wore a deep-coloured coat dress for her engagements in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Paying tribute to her hosts, Queen Camilla wore an elegant green coat dress by Bruce Oldfield, the designer of last year’s Coronation gown. The coat was unique as it had a special twist to its design and featured green velvet leaf-like patches.

It had been a while since her last visit to Northern Ireland which was in May 2023 following King Charles’s Coronation.

Also paying tribute to her host in a delicate fashion, Queen Camilla wore a stunning turquoise and diamond shamrock brooch for the events.

Princess Eugenie read to young school children in Chelsea, London, and joined in with an abnormally large Easter Egg hunt as she promoted Queen Camilla’s late brother’s conservation charity.

King Charles’s niece chatted to children from Garden House School at Elephant Family’s Little Egg Hunt in Chelsea on March 21.

Princess Eugenie, 33, got involved with the event because Queen Camilla’s late brother, Mark Shand, was a “dear friend” who set up Elephant Family in 2003.

Princess Eugenie, who is patron of the Elephant Family, explained taking part in egg hunts or bamboo elephant activities in Hyde Park, “bridges the gap” with what happens in the wild so people can help learn about conservation.

Queen Camilla’s visit to Northern Ireland was overshadowed by an unexpected tuxedo-wearing one-year-old during her meeting with the owners of a Belfast bakery.

As part of an engagement to showcase local businesses in the area, Camilla had popped into Knotts Bakery on Lisburn Road in Belfast where she met with owner William Corrie and his wife, former Miss Northern Ireland and Blue Peter presenter, Zoe Salmon.

The star of the show, however, was their one-year-old son, Fitzwilliam Corrie-Salmon, who could not take his eyes off the cameras and television equipment that had followed the Queen into the bakery.

The Queen chuckled saying "we’ve got a natural for the cameras" as she watched him in amusement.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been left out of the loop about Princess Kate's tummy surgery, it's been said.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex usually know what's happening with the Royals in the UK.

But this time, they haven't been told anything about the Princess of Wales' health.

Someone close to the family said: "They are aware of everything that goes on back in England, but are being left out of any details regarding Kate.

Harry rushed to the UK last month when he heard his dad King Charles II might have cancer. He saw his father but didn't visit his brother Prince William or Kate. Many of the public think it's strange that Harry didn't see Kate after her big operation or his niece and nephews.

A source told PEOPLE: "It would be the normal run of things to go and see your sister-in-law who's had a serious operation and also see your niece and nephews. But it isn't normal. It's terribly sad."

King Charles busied himself by holding three private audiences at Buckingham Palace on Thursday.

His wife meanwhile is undertaking a two-day trip to Northern Ireland, where she issued a brief update on the King's health and said: "He's doing very well."

Charles welcomed Mr Mbelwa Kairuki and presented the Letters of Recall of his predecessor and his own Letters of Commission as High Commissioner for the United Republic of Tanzania in London.

The King also received Mr Ng Teck Hean when he presented the Letters of Recall of his predecessor and his own Letters of Commission as High Commissioner for the Republic of Singapore in London.
