Queen Camilla has delivered an emotional message about the importance of talking and seeking support.

Her Majesty sat down with Dame Laura Lee and spoke about how difficult conversations can sometimes be. The official Instagram handle of the British Royal Family posted a video clip of Camilla's conversation in a post with Maggie's Centres on Wednesday.

The caption of the post read: "Talking isn’t always easy, but it can make the world of difference. Thank you for the kind messages and all your support for the wonderful work of Maggie’s."

Stressing on the difference reaching out can make, the palace added further, "If you, or someone you love, has cancer, just come into your nearest Maggie’s centre to speak with an expert and receive free practical, emotional and psychological support."

"To watch the full video of Her Majesty’s conversation with Dame Laura Lee, or to find your nearest Maggie’s for free expert support, click the link in @maggiescentres bio," the caption concluded.

In the video, Dame shared that a lot of people reached out for support because of King Charles being so open about his cancer diagnosis. To which Camilla responded, "look at my husband," adding, "nothing stopped him."

"He just said, 'this is my way. I'm going to cope with it,'" Camilla added further.

For those unaware, King Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February 2024. The monarch chose to share his diagnosis publicly in order to encourage cancer awareness and support others.
