Queen Camilla was given sweet posters to deliver to the Princess of Wales today, following Kate's heartbreaking cancer diagnosis.

Camilla also added that Kate is "thrilled" by the support she has received from the public since revealing she is undergoing treatment for cancer.

The Princess of Wales revealed in a video statement on Friday that she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy.

She said she and Prince William had been doing everything they could to "process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family".

Kate added it has "taken time" to explain her diagnosis to her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in a way that is "appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK".

The news came as King Charles, 75, is also dealing with his own cancer diagnosis.

Buckingham Palace announced in February that the King had been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer after surgery for an enlarged prostate.

Queen Camilla drew in huge crowds for her trip to Shrewsbury today.

Camilla has been performing lots of royal duties following the King and the Princess of Wales's cancer battles.

King Charles, 75, has paused public-facing duties after being diagnosed with a form of cancer last month.

Camilla, who wore a gorgeous camel coat, began her trip to the Shropshire town by visiting the Farmers' Market.

She received a tour and viewed its food stalls, artisan products, jewellery and craft stalls.

The Shrewsbury brass band were heard playing in the background, much to the delight of the waiting crowds.
